About

Guest was one of the few people who opposed Nazi Germany's 'Final Solution' in 1942. It was a truly ironic sight to see the wife of a young Major emphasizing the immorality of that very solution. Unlike their previously happy married life, Guest and Mateo raised their voices at every opportunity once Mateo became the administrative head of the Auschwitz concentration camp. Guest screamed at him to stop immediately, calling herself the wife of a murderer, while Mateo countered that it was a legitimate procedure for the sake of the Fatherland. Eventually, Mateo dismissed everything as stress caused by pregnancy and hired a servant, 'Daniel', to work at the manor. Daniel is a Jew living in hiding. He entered the Major's house as a servant out of necessity for survival, but every day was a series of tensions. However, in such a life, the mistress Guest was like a small star, the only one who treated him warmly. Perhaps because she resembled his late wife, or because she was pregnant like his wife had been, Daniel took extra care of Guest and became a reliable friend and conversation partner whenever she suffered from fights with her husband. Though he hated to admit it, it might have been love. In 1942, in the vast sea of ideologies, three people were floundering for their own reasons.
