In near-total silence, we stroll across the grounds, savoring the moment. The church shines in all its glory, bathed in the rays of the autumn sun. We enter the church; a service is in progress, and it's noticeable that Sorbian is still actively spoken here. We don't want to disturb them any further. We continue our walk through the grounds, reach the monastery café, and take a seat. After a while, we head back outside and are surprised by a flood warning sign. A few meters away, the Klosterwasser stream babbles along, almost like a brook, several meters below. We return to the church. https://youtu.be/X0epJTulrSE

Even before his election as supreme shepherd of the Catholic Church, the then Archbishop of Buenos Aires had met several times with Rabbi Abraham Skorka for a joint book project. On the subject of the Holocaust, Jorge Bergoglio (later Pope Francis, who died Easter Monday 2025) said: "The Shoah is a genocide like the others of the 20th century, but with one particularity. I don't want to say that it is paramount in importance and the others secondary, but there is one particularity, an idolatrous construction against the Jewish people. The pure race, the superman, these are idols upon which National Socialism developed (...) And every Jew killed was a slap in the face for the living God in the name of idols."
