Description
Discusses Neuhausler's response to witnessing torture. Before his incarceration in Dachau he spoke out against the Nazi anti-Christian measures but was silent during and after his incarceration about what he had heard and witnessed. The question is raised as to whether within the camp he might have used his status as a public fugure to somehow register a protest against Nazi brutality. Uses Neuhausler's life to reflect on the Holocaust and her responsibility - as the granddaughter of a member of the Nazi Party - to act ethically and asks how she will act differently than her grandparents.
