While imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp, Simon Wiesenthal was taken one day from his work detail to the bedside of a dying member of the SS. Haunted by the crimes in which he had participated, the soldier wanted to confess to--and obtain absolution from--a Jew. Faced with the choice between compassion and justice, silence and truth, Wiesenthal said nothing. But even years after the way had ended, he wondered: Had he done the right thing? What would you have done in his place?
In this important book, fifty-three distinguished men and women respond to Wiesenthal's questions. They are theologians, political leaders, writers, jurists, psychiatrists, human rights activists, Holocaust survivors, and victims of attempted genocides in Bosnia, Cambodia, China and Tibet. Their responses, as varied as their experiences of the world, remind us that Wiesenthal's questions are not limited to events of the past. Often surprising and always thought provoking, The Sunflower will challenge you to define your beliefs about justice, compassion, and human responsibility.

This book is indeed thought-provoking. I'm writing a paper on Christian forgiveness and I use Wiesenthal's contentious question "Was being silent at the dying Nazi's deathbed right or wrong" as my starting point. The capacity of forgiveness is always so beyond our understanding.
评分Holocaust classic.
评分讨论二战时一位犹太人是否应该宽恕杀害其他犹太人的纳粹党卫军士兵。作品后附多篇他人评论，表达了对宽恕的不同理解，但大都从神学角度出发。
