Justice Not Vengeance | Simon Wiesenthal
Pickpick

Finally finished. Should be "required", but never will be for various reasons including challenging ideas even the "woke" of us have. A great insight to history (including FBI, Catholic, and other documented and admitted involvement in atrocities), and warnings for the future.

"Dictatorships have invariably first got hold of young people who have a lost sense of direction. Instead they instilled in them a madness"

"During the trials it usually emerged that they, who had thrown bombs and blown up pylons to fight for South Tyrol's freedom, had often never set foot in the region. All that mattered to them was to have a demonstrable object for their own enthusiasm, in reality for their own aggression."

“Hatred can be nurtured anywhere, idealism can be perverted into sadism anywhere. If hatred and sadism combine with modern technology the inferno could erupt anew anywhere.“ (p. 358)
