Family legend has it that Johanna's father's
successful clothing business was founded by her grandfather and built up by
his own hands and hard labor. But when Johanna travels to Israel on a class
project, she discovers that her grandfather legally acquired the business
during the Nazi regime according to the anti-Semitic laws of the Third
Reich. Now Johanna has a dilemma. Her family's wealth is founded on
injustice. Should she keep silent or wake the sleeping dogs? |
