And it was his call, of course. I just think he made the wrong one. I understand his reasoning, but I think his circumstances (and really, could they be any more traumatic?) led him to choose avoidance rather than justice. He calls it God's influence, and perhaps it was. However I believe it was the result of the effects of a cynical ploy by a Nazi enemy to try to save her own life by holding a baby and hiding behind per presumption that he would hold a belief in the sanctity of motherhood. So he saw what he wanted to see - a mother. I see a wolf in sheep's clothing who escaped not revenge, but justice.
I don't think she escaped, and she certainly won't escape justice after her death. What is tragic is the senselessness of all the evil, and how easily it spreads. This is always a challenge for those who are persecuted, that they not become like their persecutors. I had a debate with someone who I think is no longer posting, not a regular. His view was that Nuremberg trials were victor's justice and no justice at all. I, of course, vehemently disagreed.
