He is particularly scarred to hear that his 19-year-old sister Shinya had been arrested in Budapest and likely shot and then tossed into the river. One older and one younger sister survived. His younger sister was actually rescued directly by Raoul Wallenberg, who we've covered in one of our Reverse Bastards episodes.

And one of them is Robert Maxwell's younger sister. So this is obviously about as devastating a road trip as you can go on, traveling through like the battle scars of Eastern Europe to find out basically no one lived. In your family.

When he returns to occupied Berlin to work as an interrogator, he fully inhabits Robert Maxwell, British officer. He's been promoted to a captain at this point. Und es ist nicht versteckt.

Und die größte Mehrheit der Leute, die ihn kennen und mit ihm arbeiten, haben keine Ahnung, dass er jüdisch ist, dass er in der österreichischen Tschechoslowakei geboren ist. Und er ist einer dieser Dinge. Ich glaube nicht, dass er jemals religiös war. Also glaube ich, dass Judäa nie seine Glauben in einer bedeutenden Weise war, weil ich glaube, dass er einfach ein natürlicher Atheist ist.

Und ich denke, nach diesem Erkennung, dass das sein Heimatland ist, ist es einfach zu schmerzhaft, weil seine Familie verletzt wurde, richtig? Und so hat er es wirklich nicht für Jahrzehnte. Er kümmert sich um seine Schwestern. Er schickt sie beide in die Vereinigten Staaten. Er schickt seine Jüngeren. Er zahlt für seine jüngere Schwester, um zur Schule zu gehen.
