註釋Second World War has ended and Albert's family has successfully escaped from the Soviet army, as well as the Russian zone as it was being established according to the Yalta agreement.Albert has developed a new cancer and while receiving one of his chemo treatments, he drifts into his now familiar dream where he recalls his family's past existence since getting out of Nazi Germany. Through many trials and tribulations, the family manages to reach the US zone and find a DP 'Displaced Persons' United Nations camp, as far as they could get from the borders of the Russian zone.They enjoy one happy and calm year in Wiesbaden under the protection of UNRRA. However, the screening commission makes a tragic error while trying to uncover any collaborators or persons that don't fit the classification of DP's. To make matters worse, the commission arrogantly refuses to admit its error or conduct a review. The family is then expelled from the protection of the UN and thrown back to the post war German authority. Meanwhile The German Red Cross tries to reject them and absolve itself of responsibility for them, but the family appeals to the UN to clear their name so that they can be returned to its protection under the Charter.Meanwhile they are transported via a cattle car to a German make-shift ex prisoner of war camp where again they endure lack of food and warmth from the extreme cold of the 1946-47 winter. The liberation of Europe has not proven to be the relief from their misery that they had anticipated.
