		<description><![CDATA[On a day when two prominent leaders on opposite sides of the moral spectrum pass on, it&#8217;s worth reading what one thought of the other: Fortunately, people who use direct eyewitness testimony in attempts to expose the greatest crimes against humanity can be found in each era and all over the world.
