Sunshine
Through three generations, the narrative of a Jewish family in Hungary rising from humble origins to positions of wealth and power in the decaying Austro-Hungarian Empire. The patriarch rises to prominence as a judge, but is conflicted when his government supports anti-Semitism. His son converts to Christianity in order to further his career as an Olympic champion fencer, but he is caught up in the Holocaust. Finally, the grandson recognizes that his ultimate allegiance must be to himself and his ancestors after surviving war, revolution, tragedy, and treachery.
