March 1944: Warβs darkest period descends upon Hungaryβs Jews. By the time it ends in January 1945, over half a million Jews will have been murdered. Gratitude tells the story of that period, through the eyes of the wealthy Beck family, whose lives and loves are saved and lost. At the center of it all is Paul Beck, a young lawyer whose chance meeting with a visiting Swede, Raoul Wallenberg, may alter the inevitability of the Jewsβ fate. Like The Garden of the Finzi-Continis, Gratitude captures forever the pain and passion of oneβs family precious moment in time.
