+Excerpt from [[daniel-kahneman]]'s Nobel Prize biographical
+for his 2002 prize in Economic Sciences:
+
+> It must have been late 1941 or early 1942.
+> Jews were required to wear the Star of David and to obey a 6 p.m. curfew.
+> I had gone to play with a Christian friend and had stayed too late.
+> I turned my brown sweater inside out to walk the few blocks home.
+> As I was walking down an empty street, I saw a German soldier approaching.
+> He was wearing the black uniform that I had been told to fear more than others –
+> the one worn by specially recruited SS soldiers.
+> As I came closer to him, trying to walk fast,
+> I noticed that he was looking at me intently.
+> Then he beckoned me over, picked me up, and hugged me.
+> I was terrified that he would notice the star inside my sweater.
+> He was speaking to me with great emotion, in German.
+> When he put me down, he opened his wallet,
+> showed me a picture of a boy, and gave me some money.
+> I went home more certain than ever that my mother was right:
+> people were endlessly complicated and interesting.[^1]
