["David & Jill Stevenson" <djstevo@quicksilver.net.nz>]

Allan,

 

        I am intruding  I know but nice touch about  Schindler being  somewhat of a paradox .I know it was only a novel but Charles Dickens, in Tale of Two Cities , had his character Sydney Carlton give his life in the French Industrial Revolution  for a friend at the Guillotine  by a clandestine exchange of roles.. Remember those words  " It is a far ,far better thing I do - - -   - - - - - than I have ever known " . Carlton had led a life as a dissolute Rouee but certainly by laying down his life for a friend ,who was in love with the same woman , made more than necessary amends.

       Excuse the interruption you touched a nerve.
