Just a quick connection- in The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom, an excellent Holocaust survival story. Near the end of the book, she describes meeting one of the guards who had been exceptionally cruel, but who had become a Christian later. This person asked Corrie's forgiveness. The story of her reaction is truly amazing
