A Dying Man's Confession and an Impossible Choice
A skeletal Jewish prisoner is summoned from his work detail. A nurse leads him through a converted hospital, past rows of wounded German soldiers, to a darkened room where a young SS officer lies dying, his face completely wrapped in bloodstained bandages. The Nazi didn't ask for Simon Wiesenthal specifically-he asked for "a Jew." Any Jew would do. What follows is a confession so horrifying that it has haunted moral philosophers, theologians, and ordinary readers for over half a century. The dying man describes herding three hundred Jewish families into a building, dousing it with gasoline, and setting it ablaze. He watched a father, mother, and child leap together from a window, their bodies consumed by flames and bullets. Now, facing death, he seeks absolution. Simon listens in silence, then walks away without offering forgiveness. Was this the right choice? This question-raw, unresolved, and deeply personal-forms the moral center of "The Sunflower," transforming a wartime encounter into one of history's most profound ethical dilemmas.
