Primo Levi
One of the returnees from Auschwitz writes a letter of complaint to a German company he delivered the resin to. In the answer, he finds the name of a person who used to work in the concentration camp and writes a personal letter to him. Not regarding the person as the "representative" of the German executioners, he carefully examines the reply from him. It is you, not the public, who people really love or hate. From a collection of short stories, "The Periodic Law" (translated by Hirohide Takeyama).
