of suffering They also take us into memories of his later life reminding us of the joy to be found in meaningful work and in the humanity we share with those around us Out of the Silence not only offers a rare insight into one man's experience in the throes of a bitter conflict of the past; it also bears witness to the enduring power of forgiveness truth and reconciliation in the face of adverse forces still at work in the world today
