Are you calling this woman evil for forgiving the evil of the Nazis? Or just a stupid old lady?

Not sure. I’d probably go with the latter. I don’t mean to be mean, but in my view, she is caught up with a fluffy, feel-good way of dealing with her experiences. I have little regard for her abdication of the duty to think this through with reason and to appreciate the implications outside your own emotions. I wouldn’t call her evil because she is probably just a simple soul who means well. Just the same, this kind of ignorance helps evil thrive.

There is also an important point of fact in the story which makes a big difference: Danon was 10 years old at the outbreak of the war. She was in Yugoslavia and survived by hiding from the Nazis. My father was 15 when the war broke out and overtook him in Lublin, Poland. He went through 6 different concentration camps. He was beaten, starved, terrorized and brutalized in indescribable ways. He was liberated after a 4 day death march with no food or water. His family (including my grandparents, uncles and cousins) were exterminated. Maybe one has to have experienced the full measure of evil to appreciate how it cannot be tolerated, forgiven or countenanced in any way.
