The German-American woman said it was terrible if it ever really happened.
I felt she was in denial.
I said I was sure that it did happen.
I had seen the photographs.
I had heard the testimonies from survivors.
I had witnessed the collective guilt.
I said it still happens.
I said that her own government is involved in much of it.
I said her own son was going to serve in the military that commits it.
I claimed that if it stopped now, it would stop for all of eternity.
I said we could stop it.
She asked How?.
I said compassion.
