Catholic-Jewish Dialogue to discuss “The Sunflower”

By Renee Bialek, Program Director

Everyone is invited to join us on Sunday, March 2, 2:30 p.m. at the Nina Iser Jewish Cultural Center for a Readers & Thinkers book review of “The Sunflower: On the Possibility and Limits of Forgiveness” by Simon Wiesenthal.

In this book, a Nazi soldier on his deathbed asks forgive ness from a Jew, in this case Wiesenthal, for horrendous atrocities he committed against Jews during the Holocaust. This presents a moral and ethical dilemma for Wiesenthal. After walking away from the soldier, he asks “What would you have done?”

“The Sunflower” presents responses to that question from clergy and spiritual leaders, Holocaust survivors, professors and historians. During the program we will discuss exactly that.

Read “The Sunflower” in advance and come discuss with us over refreshments. RSVP at https:// JFGN.regfox.com/the-sunflower. The Catholic-Jewish Dialogue of Collier County is a subcommittee of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Jewish Federation of Greater Naples.
