Thumbnail Ethical Guide


Seeing the film HANNAH (Arendt), I was reminded of a television program where three offspring of Holocaust survivors had arrived at a good thumbnail ethical guide.  Grim realists, they qualified each statement with "Try":

 Try to never be a perpetrator.
 Try to never be merely a witness.
         Try to never be a victim.
