Confusion - Elizabeth Jane Howard

Anyway by the time you get this I shall be dead. I have two days work to do here, taking pictures, then I shall put the film, with this letter, on a plane on Thursday morning, then I shall come back here and put a bullet through my head. She will ask you why. Tell her I couldn't live with what I have witnessed in the last two weeks. I can't be a survivor of what has been, literally, a holocaust. I go crazy, out of my mind at not being with them in it. These are, were, my people.
