Martin Bernhard pulled his car out of the garage at their home in the outskirts of Berlin. His wife was leaving for work at the same time, so he dropped her off at the bus stop, blew her a kiss and reminded her that he would be back from Italy in about a week.
As he swung the car away from the curb, Martin felt pangs of guilt for leaving her again but took solace in knowing that his wife was now fully aware of his activities. He worried that Margrit would be unable to purge notions of his grandfather"s activities and think less of the Bernhard family.
Martin and Margrit were members in good standing of the new Germany. They were repelled by the policies of the Third Reich and its m******e of European Jews. And they firmly believed that such a government was not possible in their country
