Shadows of Berlin

1955 New York City, the city of progress. But in the Perlman residence, the past is as close as the present. Rachel Perlman, a child of Berlin and an artist bearing her mother's legacy, arrives in New York as part of the wave of Jewish displaced persons who managed to survive the brutalities of the war.

But despite her efforts, Rachel is unable to live the ""normal"" life of an American housewife until she can shake the ghosts of her past and the tremendous guilt that weighs down on her: the ""crime"" of survival.
