Imagine it's 1942. You're a four year old child in Budapest, Hungary when your father is conscripted into a Jewish labor battalion. You never see your father again. In 1944 they take away your mother. She survives the horrors of a concentration camp but is so weak someone has to bring your mother home in a wheel barrel. You run back into the house because you believe there is no way the flesh and bone human in the wheel barrel could be your mother.
