Kurt Gerstein: the ambiguity of good

Story of a mysterious German SS man who worked against the extermination of the Jews. The author demonstrates convincingly that Gerstein's purpose in penetrating deeper and deeper into the camps was to bear witness as a Christian. Like other reasonable men, Gerstein thought that the killing would stop once the world knew about it. Hochhuth's play 'The Deputy' first brought Gerstein to the world's attention.
