From behind the drawing boards of the furnace manufacturers Topf & Söhne, the engineers could look out the window and see the smoke rising from the chimneys of camp Buchenwald. That smoke came from cremation furnaces that they had designed, and similar furnaces manufactured by them also burned bodies at Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen. Were you a collaborator if you worked for Topf & Söhne? Should you have refused to service the furnaces at Auschwitz? Did you talk about what you saw at home at the dinner table? There’s only one question that remains after this episode and one that will never be answered: What would you have done back then?
