...cattle car that is taking his family to the gas chambers at Oéwięcim. He learns to kill while traveling with a band of Polish partisans. Eventually, he goes to Israel, where he continues to kill-first the British, then the Arabs. Later, as an assassin for the Shin Beth, the Israeli secret service, he is assigned to liquidate two former Nazis who are developing atomic rockets for the Egyptians. It is soon apparent that Rothberg is retelling the history of the Diaspora in this century. Not only has Nissim experienced the full horror of Hitlerism...

The commission might have prevented some of the current criticism if it had appointed a kind of devil's advocate to challenge evidence aggressively on behalf of the assassin. Many of the complaints against it, of course, concern the inevitable flaws that accompany any juridical proceeding: contradictions, loopholes, gaps of fact and, especially in the case of such a shattering episode as an assassination, some confusion and forgetfulness on the part of shocked witnesses...
