About this product

Product Information

A Holocaust survivor's surprising and thought-provoking study of forgiveness, justice, compassion, and human responsibility, featuring contributions from the Dalai Lama, Harry Wu, Cynthia Ozick, Primo Levi, and more. You are a prisoner in a concentration camp. A dying Nazi soldier asks for your forgiveness. What would you do? 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 way had ended, he wondered: Had he done the right thing? What would you have done in his place? In this important book, fifty-three distinguished men and women respond to Wiesenthal's questions. They are theologians, political leaders, writers, jurists, psychiatrists, human rights activists, Holocaust survivors, and victims of attempted genocides in Bosnia, Cambodia, China and Tibet. Their responses, as varied as their experiences of the world, remind us that Wiesenthal's questions are not limited to events of the past.

Good but hard to read
I am a christian who enjoys horror novels and mystery novels. This book was interesting, but hard to read. We read it for our book club and had mixed reviews. I could only read a few portions at a time. The history of the Nazi's was good. He lightly touches upon experience in the camps and I wonder if it is because of not wanting to focus on that horror as opposed to the confession. Once I got through the confession, it was very thought provoking. The symposium at the end was way too long. There are bios of the authors contributing at the very end. It would have served a better purpose under their names because you didn't know who was who otherwise. Read that first if your going to get the book and read the symposium. We had a really good discussion on this book, so for that I am happy. I would not have read this book otherwise.Read full review

What would you have done?
If you want to think about forgiveness, this is the book for you. I bought the book because an acquaintance was talking about it and asking people what they would do. While reading it, I kept trying to imagine what life was like during the Holocaust. Though it is not light reading, it is good reading. I think we should all consider reading the book and put some serious thought into the author's questions. It is very interesting to read the different viewpoints of the many contributors to this book.

Amazing!
The book came in such great packaging. Wrapped between two pieces of cardboard to prevent any dent, fold, or breakage. It arrived right on time, and the book is so slim and smooth. I absolutely recommend it!
