The Sunflower: On the Possibility and Limits of Forgiveness, by Simon Wiesenthal. 

A Nazi soldier on his deathbed asks forgiveness from a Jew, in this case Wiesenthal, for horrendous atrocities he committed against Jews during The Holocaust This presents a moral and ethical dilemma for Wiesenthal. After walking away from the soldier, he asks “What would you have done?”

The Sunflower presents responses to that question from clergy and spiritual leaders, Holocaust survivors, professors and historians. During the program we will discuss exactly that.
