Professor Wald had been invited to Grosrohrsdorf by three townspeople who decided to tell the story of the town under Nazi rule.  Wald, whose grandparents perished in the concentration camps, describes his meetings with the sons and daughters of the Nazis and sympathizers, and their reaction to him and his message.

A very insightful article – highly recommended.
