The impact of war on the human psyche

Nałkowska showed the destruction of the human psyche in the relationship "Professor Spanner". The production of human fat soap at the process was justified by this, that Germany suffered from a lack of fats at that time. This explanation and thought are equally terrifying, that someone can really explain such a cruel crime in this way, like the event itself. A Pole from Gdańsk, working at the Spanner Institute, he will only say, that he "disgusted" but "foaming well". This man had to undergo a long mental transformation, Before he became indifferent to it, what was happening around him. Moral sensitivity was killed in it, ability to terror and internal protest.

They were subject to spiritual paralysis, They saved their lives, but they can't live as they used to, Still remembering this, what happened to them. The author strongly emphasizes the results of fascist terror on the human psyche and the stigma, what occupation has squeezed on millions of people.
The desire to express indignation flows through the "medallions", terror, ardent protest against human harm and the horror of the occupation. The words of the motto that the writer gave to her song are terrifying: "People have prepared this fate".
