While imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp, Simon Wiesenthal, the author, was taken from his work detail to the bedside of a dying SS member. Haunted by the crimes in which he participated, the soldier wanted to confess and seek forgiveness from a Jew. Wiesenthal was faced with the choice between compassion and justice, silence and truth. Years after the war had ended, he pondered the question: Had he made the right choice? What would you have done in his place?
The book concludes with more than fifty responders in various fields: theologians, jurists, psychiatrists and survivors weighing in on these questions in view of the current events of genocide. Their answers come from experience and career perspectives. What would you do?
