Patricia Posner:
Hi, Patricia, First of all, congratulations on your book, which is absolutely well-written, backed up by proper research. I would like to ask you what you think is your greatest contribute to society, through writing this book? Thank you very much for your attention, Rui Maio
Patricia Posner
Thank you for the good words Rui, much appreciated.
As you can see in the book, I put a lot of effort to providing reference and source notes so other researchers can follow the evidence if they decide to write about this part of history. I think my top contribution is setting forth a little known story about the Holocaust and giving the road map to others who want to pursue the field.
Also, while the story of Auschwitz and Capesius is a grim one, it is great that I can also show the best part of human nature - when two men, one a survivor and one a judge, pursue justice and manage to bring Capesius to trial 20 years after the war. It demonstrates that one or two people can make a difference in this world, and that it is never too late for justice and truth.
