As Michael, a commenter at SimplyJews, puts it: "So many Holocaust survivors feel guilty, wondering why they lived when others died. I guess we now know why Prof Librescu lived."
So far, Israeli engineering professor and Holocaust survivor Liviu Librescu, 77, is the only one of the victims of Virginia Tech killer Seung Cho known to have fought back. He blocked a door while his students jumped out windows. If a few had stayed to help him, would it all have turned out the same?
UPDATE Nice to be in such company as Mark Steyn: "It is a poor reflection on us that, in those first critical seconds where one has to make a decision, only an elderly Holocaust survivor, Professor Librescu, understood instinctively the obligation to act."
