The most unusual thing could happen to a person at any given time regardless of his/her morale, political or religious beliefs. Affliction is inevitable for individuals who are part of minority. Although I don't find Yakov Bok a likeable character, I sympathize with him but given the fact that this was based on a true story is demoralizing already. The world truly is corrupt and unjust and makes me lose hope for the solidarity of humanity. Peace is a myth.
