Act 1
Torn apart by war, separated by confusion by Vic Alhadeff

Act 2
Letters of Loss and Refuge

In 2009 Rudolf Schwab’s letters were discovered by his grandson Daniel, in a forgotten trunk in the garage of the family home.

We are taken on a powerful and poignant journey of insight into Rudolf’s struggles as a refuge, his displacement, loss of family, reconnection with those who survived, and his surprising relationship with his German friend, Karl, a war-wounded Nazi.
