The Sunflower: The Possibilities and Limitations of Forgiveness

Prior to this module, students should read and take notes on Simon Wiesenthal's The Sunflower and come to class with a general answer to the question Wiesenthal poses at the end of his narrative, "What would you do?" It is not an expectation that they have read the symposium that follows his narrative in the edition printed in 1998, but the remainder of the text in that edition is used for the close reading and analysis in this module. 

This may be a student's first experience writing a synthesis essay. The symposium following Wiesenthal's narrative is where the students will draw their information for this essay.
