Kort historia där nazist Hermann Goering dödas och uppstånds / klonas flera gånger så att han kan straffas upprepade gånger?

Detta är Eichmannvariationerna av George Zebrowski (h / t till @DCoder för förslaget) .

After capturing Adolf Eichmann, the Nazi hunters clone the criminal and execute the replicas -- recognizing the barbarity of eye-for-an-eye, but seeing no other recourse but to equal the loss of Jewish life with the repeated taking of Eichmann's life. The morality of creating innocent beings to be sacrificed to the grist mill of Eichmann's projected guilt and the victims' principles for existence is combed over with a surgeon's precision and a satirist's wit.

Det verkar verkligen passa beskrivningen, har varit upprepade gånger antologierad sedan dess ursprungliga publiceringsdatum och är mindre om den verkliga historien och mer om den filosofiska och moraliska dimensionen.

A world benefiting so greatly from Israeli science and technology looked the other way when I was kidnapped. Nazis were merely a strange and rare form of humanity collected by their Jewish benefactors, for private reasons.

“It is the best we can do, anyone can do. Six million German flesh for six million Jewish. German flesh created by our conscience, from our soil and the sunlight of God, Mr. Eichmann.” I stared at him and answered, “Innocence in your eyes is not the prize you think. I repudiate nothing.”

...

“Shall we stop then?” “No—that would waste all that has gone before. He will live and he will die. Maybe we’ll learn something yet.” “But how can you even hope?” “If even one variation repents, I’ll destroy the original and close down the project.”

Definitivt Riverworld . Han blev en del av en kult som reste predikar, och om de dödades uppstod han bara uppe i en annan del av planeten. De såg detta som en del av deras bot.
