find out why they committed the
atrocities. Their answer was nothing
more than "following orders."
He also shares his views on what it
means to be a Jew in Germany while
standing in the stairwell of the
Munich home he grew up in.
His visit with the current owners of
the apartment is hopeful, but his
reunion with a childhood friend he
hasn't seen in more than 70 years is
almost surreal.
Ursula Jung welcomes the group
into her home, smiling at first. Once
she hears Triest's story, tears come to
her face as Brent narrates: "The
Jungs explained that they chose
Jewish names for their sons so that
their sons would always be called
into our common humanity. Ursula
tells us about the terrible guilt her
generation feels for the sins of their
parents and grandparents. She does
not want her sons to bear this shame
but hopes they never forget what
began here."
Triest, a former Oak Park resident
who now lives in Delray Beach, Fla.,
said he could forgive, up to a point.
The first time he went back to
Germany was in 1958, with his wife,
Anita.
"We looked around and everybody
around us could have been a potential
Nazi," he said. "Today, when you go
back, it's the third generation. Unless
you find a guy who's at least 80 years
old, he had nothing to do with it,
which doesn't mean that he may still
have tendencies to be anti-Semitic."
Palackdharry said he hopes to get
the documentary accepted into a
major film festival. They've sent it to
Toronto and Chicago.
"The festival we're really interested
in is Berlin in February because we
think we have a better chance in
Europe," he said. "It's a wonderful
story, and Howard never made it to
Berlin."
Triest is just glad the documentary is
