Quote 31
For me, the sky was the color of Jews. (52.3)
This is to accentuate the number of Jewish people dying during the Holocaust, in Germany, and other locations in Europe. Normally, Death sees colors like, black, white, blue, etc. But, during these times, there were so many Jews being murdered, that they overshadow the other colors as Death takes them across the sky.
Quote 32
Please believe me when I tell you that I picked up each soul that day as if it were newly born. […] I listened to their last, gasping cries. Their vanishing words. I watched their love visions and freed them from their fear. (52.15)
This is a good one. This makes dying sound not half bad. But, the big mystery is, where does Death take us after all this gentleness? For some clues, see the novel's final chapter.
Quote 33
It kills me sometimes, how people die. (70.7)
Death can get just a tad sarcastic, especially when people he doesn't approve of die. This is his comment on Reinhold Zucker, the man who dies after forcing Hans to swap seats with him, and thus, unwittingly, saving Hans' life.
