The Sunflower

On the Possibilities and Limits of Forgiveness
Book •
The book recounts Simon Wiesenthal's experience in the Lemberg concentration camp where he was summoned to the bedside of a dying Nazi soldier, Karl Seidl, who sought forgiveness for his crimes.

Wiesenthal's silence in response to the soldier's plea for forgiveness prompts a lifelong reflection on the ethics of forgiveness.

The second half of the book includes a symposium of responses from various individuals, including Holocaust survivors, religious leaders, and former Nazis, discussing the complexities of forgiveness and justice.
