After reading The Sunflower Book, Mr. Simon Wiesenthal asks his readers to help him decide, should he forgives Karl who is the SS man or not. Because Mr. Simon Wiesenthal did not forgive Karl, but just walked out of the room.

In Simon Wiesenthal’s The Sunflower, the wounded Nazi committed unforgiveable acts against the Jewish people. While I am not Jewish, he has disgusted me and I do not think he is worthy of any form of forgiveness. I loosely define “forgiveness” as ceasing to be angry with someone for committing a wrongful act, or pardoning that person. In this book, Karl has shown to be not worthy of forgiveness, as he seeks it not out of remorse, but for personal gain. Karl’s sins range from murder to brutally
