[net.religion.jewish] Hatred

minow@decvax.UUCP (Martin Minow) (04/14/84)

A few years back, one of the people I worked with told me that he was
a 14 year old member of Hitler Youth (or maybe it was the Army) at the
very end of WWII.  It is certainly nothing he was proud of -- and he never
gave any indication in word, deed, or gesture, of anti-semitism.

Should I hate him for the accident of birth that made him a German
Christian caught by the draft?

I felt uncomfortable knowing of his past -- but probably less so than he
himself felt -- and sought no more than a casual work-related friendship.

But hatred?  What good would that serve?
