Europe

Here is an excerpt from KR's paper.  What are its strengths?  How could he empower it?

"The Holocaust may have been the biggest injustice in Europe and may also have inspired the most change.  While other factors were at work and many other important things came out of the Holocaust, philosophies and other moral ideas were big results as well.  The response of Wiesenthal to a Nazi's request for forgiveness set a precedent for Europe and the world.  Numerous authors analyzed and explicated on Wiesenthal's response in complex moral ways.  For example, Henry James Caras wrote,'I am afraid not to forgive because I fear not to be forgiven.  At the time of judgment, I pray for mercy rather than justice" (Wiesenthal 124).  This little excerpt is simply part of a much larger theological debate that was sparked after the Holocaust and Wiesenthal's situation.  Others completely disagreed with Cargas and Wiesenthal.  In any case, a new European set of thinking was created out of that awful event.  It posed the question asked by Dith Pran, 'Can we as humans forgive people who have caused us such grief?' (230).  The answer is still not determined, but the discussion that has started has shaped Europe and the way it goes about its affairs."
