There is a day in 1960 that retired Supreme Court justice Gabriel Bach, who recently celebrated his 94th birthday, will never forget. When I heard the footsteps of the prisoner who was being brought to me, I thought it could have all ended entirely differently, he recounts. I was a child born in Germany, who escaped it in 1938. My fate and that of the prisoner could have been the opposite of what it turned out to be.
