9. Reflections
• It teaches us to be aware of the fact that sometimes even
people you are associated with cannot be trusted.
• We should always use caution whenever we are asked to go
with someone especially alone.
• A broken family and child abandonmentin this case lead to
intense anger and acts of violence and hatred towards God
and man.
• It shows that the writings and ideas that came from evil
people like Adolf Hitler, in this case helped fuel the same kind
of hatred and murder in the hearts of these two twisted
people.
