Like every Parisian during the German occupation, Lucian Bernard, a young Christian architect, was hungry.  So when a wealthy French industrialist offers him a factory to design, he leaps at the opportunity.  But there is a catch: before he is paid, he is to outsmart the Gestapo and risk his life building a foolproof hiding place for a Jew. And thus begins Lucien’s deep descent into the dark reality of the Holocaust, one in which he will be forced to question everything he has ever thought he believed about the world, human nature and, indeed, himself.  

Dr. Linda Burghardt, Scholar-in-Residence, will lead the discussion.
