Wiesenthal’s choice was silence, but as the story continues and his struggle goes on of being haunted by this man he poses a question. Should Karl the dying SS man be forgiven for the murders he has committed?
Tanner: Good morning San Francisco! I'm your host Danny Tanner and today we have a special show prepared for everyone. Today's topic is on the case of forgiveness, and we are using Simon Wiesenthal’s book The Sunflower to initiate our talk. Joining us today are two correspondents from the actual book, Edward H. Flannery and Moshe Bejski. For those of you who don’t know Edward H. Flannery is a Roman Catholic priest who served as a member of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops’. Next we have Moshe Bejski which during his younger years was interned in several concentration camps during WWII, but has risen to serve in the Commission for Recognition of Righteous Gentiles at

Thank you all for having me here today and Mr. Flannery a pleasure to meet you. I’d like to end off by stating why I don’t think forgiveness can be given. I feel that with forgiveness on tends to forget the actions that took place. The actions committed by Nazis are to horrendous to ever forget. Yet the world has begun to forget about those involved even allowing them to return peacefully to their homes. This cannot be forgotten by anyone if justice wants to be made. We should not forget that during the debates of the 1960s establishing penalties for the genocide and crimes committed against humanity couldn't be made. This was because there hadn’t been a previous record of anything so cruel and horrifying. To forgive seems to be the turn of the head to forget the actions that took

    Ruth Kluger’s memoir, Still Alive: A Holocaust Girlhood Remembered, documents the author’s experience surviving the Holocaust as well as the shocking antisemitism that preceded it. In her blunt, straightforward manner, Kluger guides the reader through her childhood—a trying time in her life which she refuses to idealize—to her present situation in America. In addition to the historical accounts of the Holocaust, Kluger’s memoir reveals several dimensions of her relationship with Judaism and her Jewish heritage. Kluger’s perception of Judaism is influenced not only by her experience as a Jew during the Holocaust but also through her own personal view of what it means to be Jewish. Nazis perceived Judaism as strictly racial, regarding the religious aspect as irrelevant and attributing negative stereotypes about Jewish appearance and behavior to an inescapable, predetermined heritage.…

    Dear Mr, Elie Wiesel. My English recently finished your book "Night", one of the few survivor stories of the Holocaust. The Holocaust is the epitome of genocide, which always begins with an idea and like a wildfire, it grows. I've had a chance to observe this mentality amongst others. Discrimination among differences still exists.…

    Wiesel begins his speech by providing a credible background and gaining the trust of the audience by asserting his former life. He expresses this by thanking the audience and amplifying a gratitude for rescuing him from the Nazi army. Wiesel professes “Fifty-four years ago to the day, a young Jewish boy from a small town in the Carpathian Mountains woke up... Liberated a day earlier by American soldiers, he remembers their rage at what they saw. And if he lives to be a very old man, he will always be grateful to them…”, he proclaims this so that the audience will understand the context of the situation and why he is so grateful for the American intervention in World War II ( Wiesel 1).…

    Throughout all the chaos that ensued, the one distinction that hindered the Jewish people from freedom was their inexplicable silence and dignity. In desperation to escape and be liberated, the Jewish prisoners heavily outnumbered the German guards. As the young men were urging an attack against the guards the elders begged and pleaded that they refrained from attacking them. As an Elder muttered, “we mustn’t give up hope even now as the sword hangs over our heads. So taught our sages….”…

    In World War II, the Nazis committed unspeakable atrocities against the Jewish population, as well as many other groups of individuals deemed unworthy in the eyes of the Nazi party.

Despite his misdeeds against the Jewish population, Karl seems repentant while on his deathbed, as he asks for forgiveness. However, Karl asked Simon, a Jewish architect plucked from his home and forced to live in grueling concentration camps, for forgiveness on behalf of the Jewish population solely based on…

    After reading Harry James Cargas’ reflection on Simon Wiesenthal's inability to forgive and Karl’s sins I have more insight into the reasons why Wiesenthal could not forgive him. He states that if “God chooses to forgive Karl, that's God’s affair” (125). This is completely true because it is not our place to forgive Karl. He also mentions how deathbed confessions are sometimes “too easy” (125). Before, I had not even contemplate how if Karl was truly contrite, he could have asked for forgiveness earlier in his life, he did not have to wait until he died.…

    Even after I knew all the corrupt crimes he had committed in his lifetime, I doubt I would be able to tell his mother the truth. I might be harsh with Karl, but how could I ever look a mother in the eye and tell her that her son was a murderous monster? I could never be able to tell a mother that her son, whom she had brought to church and taught to believe in God and His grace, had been a part of the genocide of the Jewish population. The woman who brought an innocent boy into a world of hate should not have to bear the weight of the destruction her son caused. Though the whole German race should know and bear the ugly truth of their history, I would not want to be the person to tell the truth.…

Other Holocaust victims lost faith in not just their surroundings, but in themselves as well. Due to the abominable conditions of the concentration camps, Jews were both physically and psychologically damaged.…
