In Jewish tradition, a person dies twice. Once when their heart stops beating, and again when their name is last spoken, spoken or remembered. Only then will the deceased disappear and bid farewell to the world completely. My wife's ancestors were sent to a concentration camp by Norway's most feared Nazi leader. After the war, the family actually lived in a house where the executioner imprisoned and brutally interrogated their compatriots. An unusual twist of fate brings suffering, and the weight of history threatens the relationships between generations. In order to resist forgetfulness, he decided to search in history and retell the stories of the dead and the living.
