In a contemplate to the deep pain of Simon Wiesenthal during the Holocaust, some weigh on his silence as a symbol of unforgiveness and a malice judgment on the offensive mass crimes. Moreover, it is an act of vengeance when there is no justice and humanity exist on the earth. In the concentration camp where many are suffering from the brutalities and tortures, Josek, Simon's friend, believes that unforgiving is the fair verdict that the helpless people should stand before the horrendous mass crimes (66). Probably, Josek thinks that the dying Nazi carries all inhuman treatment of his family and all the Jews.
