The chapter show the difference in how certain events during the second World War were carried out. The story shows that two doctors, one German and one Japanese, were involved with carrying out orders during the war. We learn of Dr. Yuasa of Japan sitting in a Chinese prison. He is given a letter written from a parent. The letter is asking that the doctor get the maximum sentence for the atrocities caused to her. the doctor felt he had repented for all his sins, but after reading the letter, he wanted to trade places with the boy.
The story then shifts to a German Doctor carrying out his assignments at Auschwitz. Renee Firestone had a sister there, and wanted to confront the man responsible for her death. He was someone that was vague in his responses, and robotic in his emotion. He gives the feeling that the job had to be done, and showed no remorse for his actions.
My question:
How can two people with such similar duties, have such a conflicting feeling on their rolls so many years later?
