New York: Schocken Books. 1976. Soft Cover. 0805205780 . By Simon Wiesenthal with a Symposium. Translation of Die Sonnenblume into English by H.A. Piehler. Translation from French by Mrs. Carol Pimental Pinto. . '. . . The Jew listens silently while the Nazi confesses to having participated in the burning alive of an entire village of Jews. The soldier, terrified of dying with this burden of guilt, begs absolution from the Jew. Having listened to the Nazi's story for several hours - torn between horror and compassion for the dying man - the Jew finally walks out of the room without speaking. Was his action right? Or moral? That challenging question forms the basis of the fascinating symposium of responses that follows Wiesenthal's story, including the opinions of Abraham J. Heschel, Martin E. Marty, John M. Oesterreicher, Milton R. Konvitz, Cynthia Ozick, Herbert Gold, Jacques Mariain, Edward H. Flannery, and Herbert Marcuse, to mention only a few. This is a deeply moving, thought-provoking book, which goes to the heart of the moral issue that remains with us some thirty years later.' .
