Evil's interrogator: the writer Gitta Sereny has been criticized for getting too close to her subjects, even befriending them; but how else, she asks, can you extract the darkest secrets of Nazi exterminators and child murderers?
Article Abstract:
Gitta Sereny's controversial book about British murderer Mary Bell, `Cries Unheard,' has unleashed an ugly storm of controversy in the UK over an author's collaboration with and compensation for a woman who killed two boys in 1968 when she was 10 years old. The book will be released soon in the US, and Sereny wants to avoid the media backlash that she has faced in Europe. Her belief in the goodness of human behavior ruined by social forces is advocated in her new book as her way of trying to change the judicial system in which child criminals are tried in adult courts.
