An introspective look at Susan Korda's family seen through the lens of the Holocaust and postwar Germany. Korda's father, a Holocaust survivor, abandoned her family when his daughter was born with Down's syndrome. Korda navigates the connection between this event and the neo-Nazi obsessions of her brother along with the cold distance of her mother. Visiting Germany after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Korda dwells on the connection between her separated family and the divided nation.
