A story about a French couple who dedicated their lives to bring former Nazis to justice...
"I knew I had to go wherever the people were suffering," Mrs Klarsfeld said. "Sure, it could be dangerous. But if you really want to do something with your life, you have to do more than just speak."
in fact I was not quite sure if those individuals who happened to be Nazis during that historical period should bear all the responsibilities, or deserve in jail...in their retirement age...before their lives end...until...
He didn't hate them.
"After all, they were people like us. We spoke with some of them. They like animals, we like animals, for example."
"But we never met anyone who had changed, never met a former Nazi who showed remorse. They were only interested in their own situation and that of their family...
Is it the people they slaughtered or their lack of penitence? I really really am not quite sure...
"We tried to do quite a lot. We acted very often illegally, but our illegality is nothing compared with the people we had in front of us."
Justice achieved through illegal action...where on earth does the problem lie? isn't it sad?
