The Sunflower: On the Possibilities and Limits of Forgiveness Audiobook

" An amazing book that pushes you to look at yourself and truly define your boundaries of forgiveness and what it really means to you and others. "

" Read this book for a class in college and fell in love with it. It makes you think about human behavior, morals, ethics, and forgiveness. What would you do? "

" Learning new thought-provoking concepts about forgiveness and how Christianity and Judiasm differ. "

" I liked the book, but didn't read any of the essays of what people thought of the question presented about forgiveness. "

" A moving as well as horrifying (because it's genocide and beastly Nazi behaviour) story and an intelligent discussion about the possibilities and limitations of forgivenness! We should never forget!! "

" I enjoyed the story and the questions posed much more than the answers given. The query that Weisenthal presents is very interesting, a difficult one to answer, and I found it quite interesting that they have included various people's attempts to do so. It just feels like they included too many answers. You get to a point where no one feels as though they are saying something that has not already been said. I was able to do some interesting things with this in class, and I think it gave my students a new perspective on the holocaust. "

" Thought-provoking and a little bit challenging. All about the limits of forgiveness... "

" a good holocaust read without all the gloom and doom. best part is you can finish it in a day. unlike most holocaust books (night, diary of ann frank, etc) there is actually something to be taken away here rather than just someones sob story and is quite thought provoking. "

" An SS officer bears his soul to Simon about what he did and asks him for forgiveness. The rest of the book asks, "What would you have done? Would you have forgiven him?" This is a very interesting book. It is an incredibly complex issue with no right answer. I highly recommend this book. "

" This was a wonderful book that invites wonderful discussion and pushes you to think beyond your own experiences. Your own perceptions. "

" A jumble. Every author has much to contribute but not in so few words. Probably will not finish this book. I'll just sample a bit. "

" Very moving portrait of life in a concentration camp along with a contemplation of forgiveness and justice. "

" A book to keep on your shelves. Very thought provoking. "

" The narrator is relatively deplorable/self righteous, and it's poorly written. "

" Read it for a college class called, "Human Suffering," and learned that sometimes "silence" is the greatest form of kindness. "

" This was a great choice for discussion. It reminded me just how much of an influence my early life experiences have had on the way I view the world - even when I'm aware of that influence and try to think differently. "

" Indeed, a very interesting book. It does make you stop and think. You say of course I would forgive, but then you realize that maybe there are some things less tragic than murder that you perhaps have not forgiven. "

" It was amazing. It made me think about my view on forgiveness, as it relates to justice and moral responsibility. "

" This is a very good book. A first hand account of survival during WWII. Thought provoker - as are all books. This books asks you whether or not you're capable of forgiveness which others may deem inappropriate. "

" an important read. A concentration camp inmate ids called before a dying Nazi. The Nazi confesses his sins and seeks forgiveness- what to do? in adition to the answer given in the text- numerous thinkers weigh in in an appendix with reflections. A book to read again and again "

" This one had me at hello... Simon Wiesenthal's story is amazing... and then other people have to ruin it by telling what'd they'd do in the same situation... more than 40 years after the fact... in a world far removed from the situation... nevertheless, very touching personal struggle. "
