“In my work with the defendants (at the Nuremberg Trails 1945-1949) I was searching for the nature of evil and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy. It’s the one characteristic that connects all the defendants, a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.”

~ Captain G. M. Gilbert (Army psychologist assigned to watching the defendants at the Nuremberg trials.)

    This is ‘ a ‘ hate that must be vigorously observed to be overcome.
