I probably shouldn’t be surprised by how good this book is, but I’m truly stunned. Excellently written and, to my own astonishment, a beautiful piece of literature. This might take the place of my favorite book of all time.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

"He is guilty; he has been found guilty by a jury of his peers. He will not be subject to a penalty because he has been elected president of the United States"

After finishing Tolkien’s Tree and Leaf, I read the essay by @www.jrrjokien.com about Leaf by Niggle and it was excellent! The essay really opened up the short story and gave a lot of valuable context.
