“Remember, the Devil was once an angel.”
Simon Wiesenthal is dead. He dedicated his life to hunting down Nazis
. A survivor of the death camps
, he fought anti-Semitism and prejudice.
Thus, today is simple, you have two reading assignments: First, “Doctors from Hell: The horrific accounts of Nazi experiments on humans,”
plainly written by a court reporter who covered the Nuremberg War Crimes Trails
. Like Wiesenthal, author Vivien Spitz, has devoted her life to making sure the atrocities of the Third Reich would not be forgotten or history rewritten. (This book is the subject of a glowing review in this week’s issue of the New England Journal of Medicine,
and well it should be.) Our second ODDassignment is, Dr. Martha Stout’s “The Psychopath Next Door.”
.” It will help you understand famous leaders, maybe your neighbor, and perhaps even your boss
. (Think of it as a form of survival manual.)
Man is always marveling at what he has blown apart, never at what the universe has put together, and this is his limitation. title
