If we know the person's name, we are also aware that we are dealing with a real, flesh-and-blood person, not some abstract enemy. Through the name, the person becomes a unique, exceptional individual, who has a past and a future, ancestors and possible descendants, victories and defeats. A person is his name, he is proud of it, repeats it several times throughout his life and identifies with it.

Hungarian

"Ha tudjuk az illető nevét, egyúttal azzal is tisztában vagyunk, hogy valóságos, hús-vér emberrel állunk szemben, nem pedig valami elvont ellenséggel. A név által az illető egyedülálló, kivételes egyénné válik, akinek múltja van és jövője, ősei és lehetséges utódai, győzelmei és vereségei. Az ember a neve maga, büszke rá, élete során többször elismétli és azonosul vele."
