An assimilated American Jew finding letters that had been returned
from Poland over sixty years ago, seeks to discover what happened
to his grandmother's family. Coincidently a retired German banker
wishes to trace the wartime footsteps of his father, who was killed
in action, from his conscription in 1938 until loss of contact in
early 1945 while serving on the Eastern Front. When the two meet
each has experienced a profound change in attitude from the start
of their journey. Their moral discussion is the culmination of this
story. The two themes are the German's shift from innocence and
denial to awareness and contrition, as the American accepts his
generation's relationship to the Holocaust.
