Legacy

An elderly Jewish man strolls along the Danube Promenade in 2002: a cyclist almost knocks him down and he is transported back to a similar incident when the cyclists were the armband-wearing Arrow-Cross-men, or Hungarian Nazis - all as he is just about to participate in an event to mark the memory of a man who fought them.

Now enter the story of this man as a 14-year-old with his young friend Vera, two of thousands of Jews who owe their lives to the legendary Carl Lutz, Budapest's Swiss Vice-Consul, an enigmatic hero in the Schindler mould.
