At what level of closeness would you hide a fugitive? Son, wife/husband,cousin, friend...priest/rabbi... They have committed murder?

Oh gosh, I think I would likely not help them hide at all. I guess you would have to know the precise circumstances of the situation that led up to the murder. However, the mere word “murder” leads me to believe that the person I am supposed to be hiding did not act in self-defense but rather in cold blood.In this case, I would not have much sympathy for this individual, sadly even if this were my husband or son.

I have talked to my children various times about making the right choices in life, and committing murder, whatever the reason may have been, is never the right choice. Once you have committed such a heinous act, there is no going back. You must now be able to live with the consequences of your decisions and face up to the actions taken by the authorities.

This being said, I would not place myself at jeopardy for any family member who committed murder. First, I would no longer be able to trust this individual, since this would be a completely different, unexpected, and unpredictable behavior that my child or husband exhibited. How do I know that this person will not decide to harm me as well if he believes that I know too much and may turn against him.

Also, harboring a fugitive is a crime and I would likely be charged as well if the fugitive were caught in my home. This is not worth the trouble for something that I had no connection to. I would be heartbroken over the incidence, but I would have to turn my loved one in to the authorities for committing such a serious crime.

Coming from a law enforcement background, I would not ever hide a fugitive. Even my own son. I would insist that he turn himself in, and by doing so he has my full support and love, guilty or not.

I would never turn my back on him, but I will stand beside him while he faces the consequences of his actions.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
