Introduction -- More than cheap sentimentality: victim testimony at the Nuremberg Trials, the Eichmann trial, and the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission -- Confronting anger: where the South African TRC fell short -- The first skeptic: Hannah Arendt and the danger of victim testimony -- The second skeptic: Adam Smith and the visualization of sympathy -- Three values of anger -- Trust enough to tarry -- Epilogue.
