On January 27, 2008, Joanna Goldblum's life changed forever. She is a World Civilizations professor at Blinn College in Brenham, Texas, and she is an avid scholar of the Holocaust, much to the dismay of her older brother Benjamin, an atheist who vehemently denies such an event happens. On the sixty-third anniversary of Auschwitz's liberation, ninety-two year old Rebecca Weiss, an Austrian Jew, comes to share her story with Joanna, Benjamin, and the World Civilizations class.
The day that follows proves intense for the storyteller and the audience listening. Rebecca relates her story, beginning with the blitzkrieg against Poland on September 1, 1939 and and ending at the present day. She describes being imprisoned in Auschwitz along with her husband Scott from August 1944 till January 1945 and the events that occured afterward. The information she reveals at her story's end shocks Joanna and Benjamin and changes them forever.
