A Danish woman who survived the Holocaust and now lives peacefully in Chicago learns that a popular local restaurant owner is about to be honored as a war hero for helping Jews escape from Nazi-occupied Denmark. But the woman’s family was betrayed by a man she is sure is him. Hoping to reveal the truth, she paints “Traitor” and “Collaborator” and “War Criminal” on his property for all to see. Outraged, he sues her. But his lawsuit against her brings to light the plight of the Danish Jews under Nazi occupation and his not-so-innocent part in it, as it highlights the remarkable story of their rescue and survival.
