Sunshine
The narrative of three generations of a Jewish family in Hungary who rose from poverty to wealth and power in the decaying Austro-Hungarian Empire. As a judge, he feels split when his government supports anti-Semitism. His son becomes a Christian to further his career as an Olympic fencer, but is caught up in the Holocaust. After war, revolution, tragedy, and treachery, the grandson discovers that his ultimate allegiance must be to himself and his heritage.
