Thank you for this book recommendation. I find the situation described under this title surreal and it feels wrong. How could Wiesenthal forgive the man for the crimes he committed against other people? God can forgive if asked to do so, or a person who was directly harmed by that individual. (my personal opinion)
One of the contributors, Albert Speer, is a liar and profiteur who secretly sold stolen assets after the war. Yet he painted a beautiful and innocent picture of himself in his books and articles.
