The Sunflower: On the Possibilities and Limits of Forgiveness (Revised & Expanded Edition) - Wiesenthal, Simon

Clean, tight, unmarked; slightest wear to inside corners; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; appears unread; While imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp, Simon Wiesenthal was taken one day from his work detail to the bedside of a dying member of the SS. Haunted by the crimes in which he had participated, the soldier wanted to confess to - and obtain absolution from - a Jew. Faced with the choice between compassion and justice, silence and truth, Wiesenthal said nothing. But even years after the war had ended, he wondered. Had he done the right thing? What would you have done in his place. In this important book, 53 distinguished men and women respond to Wiesenthal's questions. Often surprising and always thought provoking, The Sunflower will challenge you to define your beliefs about justice, compassion, and human responsibility.
