Description As a teenager, Rudi discovered that his father was a doctor at Auschwitz. Trying to reconcile his inherited guilt, Rudi lashed out against his family and his friends, and eventually fled to Germany. While there, he followed in his father’s footsteps by studying medicine, and fell in love with Sarah, the daughter of a Holocaust survivor. Now Rudi is standing outside his father’s study in Paraguay, trying to work up the courage to go in. It has been seven years since he stood in that same spot. Seven years since he left his family and their history behind him.
