    It’s interesting how certain people react with kindness and forgiveness to those who have done great wrongs to them. Salman Rushdie just put out a book where he tries to understand his attacker’s motives with empathy. I live in the town where Eva Kor settled. She was in Auschwitz as a child, experimented on by Mengele, and made a big point of publicly forgiving Mengele, Hitler and the Nazis for what they did. In some ways, it’s the best revenge you can have.
