Der blinde Fleck in der eigenen Familiengeschichte. Die Schoah und das Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs liegen weit zurück, es leben nur noch wenige Zeitzeugen und Zeitzeuginnen. Ihre Vergangenheit jedoch hinterlässt bis heute Spuren in den Familien. Geprägt durch eine Katastrophe, die sie nicht selbst erlebt haben, haben viele Nachkommen der Täter, Komplizen, Handlanger, Mitläufer und Opportunisten seelische Wunden, deren Ursachen sie oft nur vage kennen: zwischenmenschliche Kälte, Schuldgefühle, Ängste, Einsamkeit, ein Gefühl der Entwurzelung.

When Jacques Lusseyran was an eight-year-old Parisian schoolboy, he was blinded in an accident. He finished his schooling determined to participate in the world around him. In 1941, when he was seventeen, that world was Nazi-occupied France. Lusseyran formed a resistance group with fifty-two boys and used his heightened senses to recruit the best. Eventually, Lusseyran was arrested and sent to the Buchenwald concentration camp in a transport of two thousand resistance fighters.

Salomea Genin was born in 1932 in Berlin to Polish-Jewish parents and fled the Nazis with her family to Australia in 1939. In 1944 she joined the Eureka Youth (Young Communist) League and in 1949 – the beginning of the Cold War – the Australian Communist Party just as the government was planning to ban it. In 1951, as a delegate to the "3rd World Youth Festival" in East Berlin, she wanted to help build an anti-fascist state in the newly-founded German Democratic Republic (East Germany). In 1963, after a nine-year struggle, they finally allowed her in.
