Question

Viktor Frankl once wrote, "...we have come to know man as he really is. After all, man is that being who invented the gas chambers of Auschwitz; however he is also that being who entered those gas chambers upright, with the Lord's Prayer or the Shema Yisrael on his lips."

I am working on a project that will hopefully turn into a message series, and, in the interests of that project, I have intentionally lifted this quote out of the context in which Frankl originally placed it so I can ask you this: what makes the difference?
