We remember together. Now we read together.
A space for our alumni to reconnect, reflect, and keep the conversation going, together. Join us online as we read and discuss one book at a time.
The Sunflower
On the Possibilities and Limits of Forgiveness
by Simon Wiesenthal
A dying Nazi soldier asks a prisoner for forgiveness. What would you do?
While imprisoned in a concentration camp, Simon Wiesenthal was brought to the bedside of a dying SS soldier who asked a Jewish prisoner, any Jewish prisoner, for forgiveness. Wiesenthal said nothing, and spent the rest of his life asking whether that was right.
The second half of the book puts the question to theologians, writers and fellow survivors, who answer it very differently.
