Should We Have Pity On A German Soldier?

A German soldier asks a Jew for forgiveness for the things he has done to the Jews people. Should you have pity on him or not? That is what the Jewish student, Simon, asked hisself as this very thing was happening to him.In my opinion he does not deserve forgiveness. "Look," said the German soldier," those Jews died quickly, they did not suffer as I do-though they were not as guilty as I am." Even though he put a little sorrow into the end of his statement, his first part of it shows no sign of guiltiness for the Jews that he killed or watched die. When he says this statement, I did not have pity for him. He may be dying but the Jews that he killed did nothing to deserve to die the way they did and with out any pity at all. Therefore, I believe that since his victims had no pity, he should have no pity. "The pain became more and more unbearable. My whole body is covered with marks from pain-killing injections...I was taken from one field hospital to another, but they never sent me home." The soldier looked like a zombie in my opinion: covered with goss, could barely speak, was weak all over his body, and was pumped with pain killers. He was getting what he deserved for killing innocent people just for their religion.
