   Summary

   Homo homini lupus. Or in English: man is wolf to man. But why are humans cruel? Dumbledore asks Tom Riddle this question and in order to impress the Lestranges, he has to come up with a clever explanation. Actually, he wanted to stir up fear of the Muggles and gather his first followers. But Dumbledore pulls him into the abysses of his psyche and into the depths of ethics. What are the triggers? A dinner at the Lestranges', a war of words between two arch-enemies and the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. The transcript of an evening. [in 1953]
