Once and only once, I asked that question and got a serious answer,   36   that is with me still.

       First, I must tell you  37  this happened, because the place has is power if its own. In Greece again. Near the village of Gonia on rocky bay of the island of Crete   38   a Greek monastery(修道院). Alongside it, on land donated by the monastery, is institute  39  human understanding and peace, and especially to rapprochement (友好关系的重建) between Germans and Cretans. An improbable task, given the bitter residue(后遗影响) of wartime.

       Against this heavy curtain of history, in this place where the stone of   40   is hard and thick, the existence of an institute devoted to healing the wounds of war is a fragile paradox(自相矛盾的荒谬说法). How has it come to be here? The answer is a man. Alexander Papaderos.

       A doctor of philosophy, teacher, politician, resident of Athens  41  a son of this soil. At war’s end he came to believe that the Germans and t he Cretans had much to give one another—much to   42  one another and that they had an example to set.   43  if they could forgive each other and construct a creative relationship, then any people could.

       To make a lovely story short. Papaderos succeeded. The institute became  44  —a conference ground on the site of horror—and it was in fact a source of productive interactions  45  the two countries. Books have been written on the dreams that were  46  by what people gave to people for a summer session.   47  had become a living legend.
