Plot summary
For seven decades Gerda Tuchler lived in the same Tel Aviv apartment. She and her husband Kurt arrived from Nazi Germany in the 1930s and immigrated to Mandatory Palestine. She never learned to speak Hebrew. After her death at ninety-eight, her daughter leads the family in clearing the place out, and her grandson films it for his own historical record. They expect to find little worth keeping among her possessions. Then a pile of old German newspapers turns up among the gloves, shoes, furs, purses, books and letters.
