Hahaha, I have been in this thread since the first twenty comments and was confused how people were getting ten downvotes in two minutes with no apparent traffic.

Do you hang out with other exonérées often? Do you struggle to relate to other people after your experience?

I have a disease for the rest of my life and it can and has paralyzed and blinded me, not to mention the intense pain.
I personally also value choice in this matter but schizophrenia invokes a whole deeper layer of questions that’s nearly impossible to answer.

There were actually quite a few acts of kindness by Germans during the Holocaust.
One off the top of my head: Read (or watch) The Pianist. It’s an autobiographical work about a Polish Jewish man, Wladyslaw Szpilman, who hid throughout the whole war.
I don’t want to spoil the book but at some point his life is saved by a German Officer, who saved many others and for his troubles was sent to die in a gulag in Russia, even after the people he saved petitioned the USSR to free him and built a corpus of evidence to prove his acts.
