While imprisoned in an concentration camp Simon Wiesenthal was taken one day from his work detail to the bedside of a dying member of the SS. Haunted by the crimes in which he had participated, the soldier wanted to confess to and obtain absolution from a Jew Faced with the choice between compression and justice, silence and truth, Wiesenthal said nothing. But even years after the war had ended, he wondered: Had he done the right thing? What would you have done in his place?

In this important book, fifty-three distinguished men and women respond to Wiesenthal`s questions. They are theologians, political leaders, writers, jurists, psychiatrists, human rights activists, Holocaust survivors, and victims of attempted genocide in Bosma, Cambodia, China, and Tibet. Their responses, as varied as their ex-periences of the world, remind us that Wiesenthal`s questions are not limited to events of the past. Often surprising and always thought provoking. The Sunflower will challenge you to define your belieb about justice, compassion, and human responsibility.

SIMON WIESENTHAL has been honored internationally for his work in identifying Nazi war criminals. The author of many books, including The Murderers Among Us and Justice Net Vengeance, he lives in Austria.
