Letters to the Editor

Readers are invited to submit letters of not more than 350 words for possible publication.

Ezra Griffith’s article in the June issue of Psychiatric News titled “The Knee on the Other’s Neck” was not only important and worthy of a great deal of thought and discussion, it was beautifully written. I felt as though I was reading a combination of Primo Levi and Eli Wiesel writing about the Holocaust. It contained both Levi’s humane and quiet need to understand the nonunderstandable and Wiesel’s passion to address injustice.

Congratulations for publishing this. ■
