Dying Nazi Soldier Analysis

151 Words1 Page

When reading the short book I was actually surprised that a dying Nazi soldier is willing to come up and confess about his sins to the person who he and his people are murdering. And for that young dying Nazi soldier it must of been hard for him to tell the young Jewish boy all his sins about everything that happened to him, such as his family, his work and everything he done of which he sinned for. Asking for forgiveness is a hard thing and to do it to someone who your leader or your governor hate is harder because it is something unusual that is illegal. But even if you do ask for forgiveness, do you think in your mind are they ever gonna accept that forgiveness and hold out their hand and tell you “I forgive you even when your sins are committed

  • The Sunflower By Simon Wiesenthal Summary

    Karl, reveals to Wiesenthal his movements against Jewish people and asks him for a forgiveness by telling him that he can not die in a piece without his answer; nevertheless, after hearing the confession, the prisoner leaves the room without saying a word. I agree with Wiesenthal’s decision about leaving the room without saying a word; therefore, I think that we shouldn’t forgive them because our psychology and morality don’t let us do it. Initially, I have always believed that “Without forgetting there can be no forgiving (qtd. in Fricke 176)” because if we forgive it will be nothing but verbal forgiveness.

  • Hitler's Willing Executioners Analysis

    508 Words  | 3 Pages

    During the Holocaust, thousands of ordinary German men were drafted to be a part of the police battalions. In Daniel Goldenhagen’s, Hitler’s Willing Executioners: Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust, Goldenhagen explains that these men willingly took part in the killing of Jews and Polish, and anti-semitism was always a part of an ordinary German. In response to these claims, Christopher Browning wrote Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101, saying that these men did have morals and they were not rampant anti-Semites but rather just ordinary men. He believed that the men coping with alcohol and the flexibility for guard duty because they cannot take it anymore with everything that is going is examples that these men still had moral in them.

  • How Did Simon Wiesenthal Forgive Jewish

    929 Words  | 4 Pages

    When Simon Wiesenthal walked away from the dying SS officer who asked him, a Jew, for forgiveness, Wiesenthal questioned whether it was the right thing to do. He asked others this question, and some said that it was justified and that they might even take it to the next level and scold Karl, the SS officer, while others said that Wiesenthal should have forgiven him because it was part of their religion to forgive. Edward H. Flannery said that Wiesenthal should’ve forgiven Karl because he wasn’t asking Wiesenthal to forgive him on behalf of all Jews, but just personally. I disagree with Flannery because I believe that someone can still be angry with another person and their actions even if they were not a victim of that other person’s actions, and that there are some actions that are so horrible, like the war crimes committed by Nazis, that cannot be forgiven.
