Simon Wiesenthal discusses his book, “Max and Helen.” He begins by explaining the plot of the book, which chronicles the tale of Max and Helen who are Holocaust survivors who were separated during the war, and both end up in Concentration camps. During the course of the story Max becomes convinced that Helen is dead, only to discover many years later that she is alive and caring for her son who was fathered by a Nazi rapist. Wiesenthal goes on to explain that the book is about the struggle to forget what the atrocities of the war have done to them both as individuals.
