Numa sala perto de mim #215

The Flat (2011) uncovers the puzzling past of a Jewish couple --German to the bone-- with Nazi connections. The investigation takes Arnon Goldfinger to distant relatives, friends of his grandparents, as well as the descendants of those who knew them, met them at some point, or wrote about their connections. As more surprising facts become unearthed, more questions emerge on matters that were never told or asked. Denial is evident on all ends.

Arnon: My mother claims she never knew her grandmother perished in the holocaust.
Grandmother's friend: It's quite possible that Gerda never told her. Only three-generation descendants ask questions, not second. You don't understand this and I am very glad you don't!
