The doubles coexist. [fact]

For Roth, the writer, Demjanjuk's ordinary homelife was no kind of alibi. The frightening thing was precisely that a person can be both that and this—the monstrous killing machine and the caring family man. The doubles coexist; they do not cancel each other out. "The Germans have proved definitively to all the world," Real Roth observes, "that to maintain two radically divergent personalities, one very nice and one not so nice, is no longer the prerogative of psychopaths only."
