Pity?

In my opinion, I wouldn't have pity on a man who killed thousands of people for no reason; Especially men, women, and children like me. In the story one of the Nazi soldiers who was suffering from battle wounds asked one of the Jews for forgiveness because he felt guilt for everything that had happened. Simon (the Jew) felt bad for him for a while as he poured his heart out in repentance. But I think one statement stuck out to him most of all. "Look, he said, those Jews died quickly, they did not suffer as I do-though they were not as guilty as I am." This would have completley changed my mind if I was pitying him for one minute. All of the Jews did suffer. They were beat, starved, and put in gas chambers. If I were Simon, there is no way I could bring myself to have pitty on the man. "Then from the other windows fell burning bodies... We shot.. Oh God!" The man is reflecting on an incident that happened that was caused by him. He told the man this but personally I don't think it's going to make a difference. Explaining to someone what you did to a Jew is not going to gain you anymore of a chance of getting forgivness.
