Summary:
Sven, a young German electing to do civilian work for his national service, is sent to Oswiecim (Auschwitz). In the course of interacting with the local townspeople and caring for an Auschwitz survivor, Krzemiński, who works at the camp, Sven feels the push and pull of conflicting sensations, learns compassion for Krzemiński, and comes to a troubling, challenging realization about his own role in preserving the memory of this place.
