People who helped exterminate Jews during the shoah (Hebrew for "holocaust") often claimed that they only did what was expected of them. Intrigued by hearing the same response from individuals who rescued Jews, the author proposes that the notion of ordinariness used to characterize Nazi evil is equally applicable to goodness.
