Forgiveness about Large-Scale Crimes Different people could have very different point of view about forgiveness, especially for the large-scale crimes like massacring Jewish during the World War II. However, different writers and scholars give different opinions about the forgiveness. Christopher Hollis, known as a university teacher and conservative politician, has different opinions about forgiveness of Large-scale Criminal with me. Hollis argues that victims should forgive about what criminal have done because of religious reasons but I think those offences should not be forgiven if they are done on purpose because forgiveness is helpless for the reality.

For example, in The Sunflower, Wiesenthal could represents all of Jewish victims in a massacre because he was also suffered from Nazi’s torment and forgiveness would be easier because Wiesenthal might be killed soon or later by Nazi, same as those Jewish families killed by Karl. The only difference is who will shot at him actually. Whereas, I think Wiesenthal could not represent all Jewish. First of all, even though World War II was a world scale warfare and millions of Nazi solider involved, and killed millions of Jewish victims.

To illustrate, Wiesenthal and Karl even never met each other before that nurse guided Wiesenthal to Karl in the hospital before Karl died, so Karl has no possibility harass Wiesenthal and he only feel guilty about what he had done instead of feel guilty about whole Nazi’s killing history. So Wiesenthal did not need to forgive the whole Nazi and he has no right to replaces that Jewish family to forgive Karl, because nobody authorized Wiesenthal with rights to represent others. In the other hand, Wiesenthal already knew he was going to be killed soon or later, by Nazi, so I hardly
