Women of education and of humanity (ePub)

Mrs. Lydia Grosz: "The Germans have remained a mystery to me. They are educated and hard working, have produced a Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, a Goethe, Schiller, and Lessing, but they have not understood the Faust, the Bell, or the Nathan. Take the ring parable in Nathan. It's the legacy of tolerance and justice. The punch line comes in the question of which son is right. Nathan says the right ring is not demonstrable, almost as unknowable as the right faith is. The father had the copies made with the intention that the rings are indistinguishable. That is the lesson we have to draw from Nathan: the commandment to tolerance and magnanimity. The hubris of the Nazis has gone severely out of hand, as if there were only Germans who have "culture and the right faith." Boris: "For their mistakes and assessments, German people have been severely punished. Mrs. Grosz: "I agree with you, because many good Germans were also met terribly."
