1961
I have vague memories of the abduction, arrest and trial of Adlph Eichmann - "The Beast of Belsen" in 1961, and have read various articles on his subsequent conviction and execution. 
 
Even today we hear of the excuses of those responsible for the now labelled "ethnic cleansing" (sounds almost anisceptic in its application to household duties). 
 
The defence of following orders is very easy to dismiss, but when faced with the horrors of fascism and its bullying tactics, I'm not sure of the extents to which I would go to protect my family. 
 
In a "me or him" situation, who can say what is wrong or right? We face the consquences later.  
 
Fear and self-preservation are very powerful emotions, and you pose some strong questions with this piece, Max. 
 
Phil
