You're missing Minion

You okay?

Sure.

himself, God.

Thanks for coming.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

He loved you so much.

Your Opa.

You were his favorite.

No, what was the song Opa used to sing when he was cooking?

Not the Yiddish one, the English folksy one.

Uh, the Broadway one?

Broadway? I thought it was like Frank Sinatra or something.

There's a saying old says that love is blind.

Ah, I knew you'd remember.

Yeah, that's a Broadway ballad.

Of course it is.

That's about to me.

Nothing, you guys were just obsessed.

Keep singing it.

Not performing a shiver, please.

Hope I used to love when you sing it with them just a bit

There's

somebody I'm longing to see I hope that he turns

out to be some

We should have moved up the wedding.

Hey.

I'm sure everybody would agree you're getting married soon enough.

Speaking of, Miriam is getting pretty cute.

I think I'll save the wedding talk for after college.

I'm graduating in less than a year, thank you. She probably needs someone

sensitive than Noam anyway.

Rude. Why are you like that?

Women love sensitive men.

You'll find someone soon, Naomi. You have plenty of time. You want to talk.

And next week, I'm going to be Shabba Zabba, even though Yonatan is Shabba

Zabba. There's going to be two Shabba Zabbas?

They're not going to pick a girl to be Shabba Zima?

And there's going to be two Shabba Zimas.

You going to survive?

I've managed this far.

Well, we're always down the street if you need to pop out.

Are we going home?

Yep, grab Ralphie and let's go.

Ralphie's coming home, but Opa isn't because he's not alive.

Oh, that's right.

I don't know how he would have gotten up there. Even before he was bedridden,

Opa barely reached 5 '5". Just slide him off and I'll catch it.

Oh, come on. She said he'd catch him.

It's always my fault.

No will.

Just like him to make this impossible for us. Well, I doubt he intentionally

organized anything for us. Ari.

Well, you said it first.

Okay, I think I'm just going to finish this, Michael.

Michelle, where's Joe?

He's in your father.

Wasn't.

I'll, uh... I'll just go do some searching in the basement.

You should have had a taller son.

Should have married a taller man.

These used to be mine until you came along and stole the spotlight.

Probably not this one.

Isn't he in one of these?

Yeah.

One of the few he was able to salvage after the Holocaust.

Who's M?

This is a mistake.

Please remit from me.

What are they? Nothing important.

Looked like an engagement ring. It's probably Oma's. But you have Oma's

engagement ring. And her name doesn't start with N.

Okay. Right now our business is looking for its will.

So maybe you should keep doing that instead of looking through his personal

belongings.

Looking at porn during davening. New one.

Not for you.

No, I was just, uh, reading a news article.

About what?

Ah, shit.

Sorry,

Rabbi, we were just talking about Noam's grandpa.

There'll be plenty of time after tefillah.

Dude, you never get coughed or anything. Yeah, because I'm smart about it.

Want to grab pizza after school?

He can't. We've got choir.

Oh, you and your stupid choir.

If women were allowed to sing at our school, I wouldn't have to go to stupid

public school choir.

Yeah, whatever.

Just let me know when you guys run out of tampons.

Do you have tampons? Shut up.

Are you feeling okay today?

Yeah, yeah.

I just had to make sure my eyes were done swelling before I came back.

I get it. That's why I never watch a romance on Sundays. One day buffer

The notebook, obviously, but what else?

I'm sorry. Who are you kidding? You cried.

Five seconds until the Walmart starts.

Watch it, Mr. Stein.

I'm so over this place.

Last week, Mrs.

Fleischman told me my shirt was too tight.

Every piece of my skin is covered, and she somehow still finds a way to stare

my boobs. What a lesbian.

Come on, we're going to be late.

Jesus, dude, would you just date her already?

It's not like that.

Oh, yeah? Tell that to your boner.

Grow up. Grow, pear.

Such an idiot, right?

Nome, can I see you?

Yes.

How are you feeling, Nome?

Good.

How's your family?

They're good.

Yeah, he was sick for a while, so it was expected.

I know your grandfather was a survivor.

So I just wanted to give you a heads up that we are starting a section on the

Holocaust next week. I completely understand if you want to sit this one

Oh.

I don't know. Feel free to take some time.

The class has already split into pairs for presentations while you were out,

Jonas still needs a partner, but he said he doesn't mind presenting on his own.

Keeping the memory of the Holocaust alive.

Sounds like a depressing TED talk.

Sorry, you can punch me if I make too many bad jokes.

Is that why you and Zach keep punching each other in the blog?

That's very one -sided.

I promise.

So, have you chosen a topic yet?

I have a few in mind. I'm just struggling to find an angle we haven't

about.

At least it's not like another presentation on the founding of the

Israel.

Right.

Sorry, that was a bad joke.

You can... No, it's true. I mean, after 11 years learning the same topic.

Seriously.

Meanwhile, we only spent one year on American history.

Ten bucks says you can't tell me what happened in the War of 1812.

Treaty of Ghent, White House was burned down, the U .S. declared war on Britain.

Never mind then.

Got a five on the AP.

Smart and humble.

Maybe I should have taken a free period instead of working with you.

Do you think Chris Pratt is hot?

Uh, yeah, why?

Why? Because he looks like a potato.

We're playing fuck, marry, kill between Chris Pratt, Chris Evans, and Chris

Hemsworth. You go.

Wait, can Orthodox people play fuck, marry, kill? Yeah, but we have to

a lamb afterwards in repentance.

What? I was just asking a question.

We're not aliens, Kyle.

You're being so offensive.

Hey, I'm allowed to be offensive.

Don't you guys, like, don't gay people?

No, we don't don't gay people.

Well, what would happen if me and my boyfriend were orthodox?

I don't know. You wouldn't be.

Yeah, that's for sure.

Rushed up to the sidewalk.

Excellent work.

Altos. You all are blending so much better than last week. I can tell you've

been practicing.

All right, let's end with a little improv.

Any volunteers for our closing song?

Please, I had such a good one.

Serenade us, Kyle.

Rockin' Robin.

Rockin' Robin.

No, Rockin' Robin, cause we really gotta rock tonight.

What are you doing?

Where's your Ema?

She's getting makeup washed after.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Mom, the whole point is that they're doing our makeup.

I don't want to show up like a schlump. Is that so bad? No, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no. You cannot just leave him with me unannounced.

Please, Norm, it'll just be an hour. I'll be right back.

Then I are a babysitter. Don't be a kvetch. This was a last -minute

What if I want to come?

Good one.

What? I still need a haircut.

Tali, let's go!

Calm down!

It'll be a quick hour. We'll be right back.

Uncle Noah, what is this?

Lev, put that down.

I'm touching it. Don't worry, love.

It's fine.

Hey, do you want to see pictures of Opa when he was my age?

Look.

Can I come in? Uh, yeah.

I was having, uh, some computer glitches.

What's up?

Amy.

Are you okay?

You were being weird at dinner.

Yeah.

Uh, I just have a lot on my mind.

I'm sure being forced to babysit wasn't helpful.

Not at all.

Her husband's a lawyer.

I think she can afford a babysitter.

Don't worry. I promise not to do that with my kids.

Well, there.

One step at a time.

Listen, um, I wanted to ask you something.

Yes, I will definitely be your maid of honor.

You would rock that lilac dress.

No, here's the deal.

Dina and Rachel are staying with us over the wedding weekend, and Mom wants to

put them up in Opa's room.

Oh. But I wanted to make sure you were okay with it first.

I mean, we do have to clean it out eventually.

Right.

What is it?

Did Opa ever talk to you about his life before coming to America?

No.

Why?

He just never did with me either.

Yo.

What are you doing?

Just looking for something that I lost yesterday.

What is it?

It's nothing.

I found it, actually.

Okay, whatever. Listen, dude. I got major news.

Miriam is totally into you.

What do you mean?

I mean Miriam asked me to ask you if you like her.

So do you?

It's kind of middle school to play telephone.

Dude, I thought so too, man. She should just have the balls to ask you about

herself.

And the population of survivors is growing ever smaller.

In two decades, there may no longer be any first -hand accounts of the Nazi

genocide.

So how do we...

Continue our responsibility to the 6 million that were murdered.

Yes, know them.

Is it 12 million?

I'm sorry?

Didn't the Nazis murder 12 million people?

Yes, well, 6 million Jews, 12 million people in total.

Why don't we ever actually talk about them?

In our entire school history, we've never once talked about Roma or gay

in the Holocaust.

I just did. That's who the other 6 million people were.

Gypsy, gay people, handicapped. You don't actually talk about it, though.

be a little more respectful.

There's people in this class whose grandparents were survivors.

I'm not trying to be disrespectful.

She's just literally avoiding my question. She is your teacher and would

some respect in this classroom.

I wouldn't mind learning about that, either.

All right, both of you can wait outside for the rest of the period.

What? Why?

Out of my classroom, now.

Hey, I'm sorry about that. I was really just trying to help.

Okay.

Sorry if I was being offensive.

No, you weren't. I was, uh, I was thinking the exact same thing.

Hey, how much do you know about, um, uh, just like what you were talking about

earlier?

Nothing, really.

I mean, that's why I think it's weird we haven't talked about it once in our 12

years here.

Why?

I found this in my grandpa's stuff.

It's in German.

Sorry.

It's a love letter.

It said, Heinrich, I will always love you.

From M.

Okay.

I found this, too.

I found it in a box.

It was the love letter and engagement ring and this photo of Opa and M.

Boehringer. Opa?

My grandpa.

Hmm.

So who's this M. Boehringer?

I don't know.

I think my mom knows, but she just won't talk about it.

Come with me.

I have an idea.

What?

There's a whole database of names for victims of the Holocaust.

Yeah, on the Yad Vashem website. Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can filter them

through location and your birth... You can, I already... Yeah, so how do you

spell the last name?

Uh, B -U -E -R -I -N -G -E -R.

And where'd your grandfather live?

I'm not sure exactly.

He never really talked about it.

Um, somewhere in Germany.

Germany.

Okay, okay, there's some female names here, but if we filter out the men, we

still have one, two... Nine.

Right. You've already done that. Yeah.

But you're a much better typer.

You joke, but I'm actually an excellent researcher.

Did you get a five on the AP?

Did you try searching the photo archive?

No, actually, good idea.

Just go back up a bit.

There.

I think that's him.

Okay, okay, from left to right, it reads Perut Buehringer, Ella Schwartz

Buehringer, Meyer Buehringer.

Noam, look who submitted the image.

Heinrich Stein.

I think we found them.

Real quick, search up Meyer Bringer in the name database.

Not listed.

Damn.

All right, I can't be late for English, but here, take my number.

Text me so we can figure out what to do next.

What do you mean? We have to find him, don't we?

See you later.

Very good, Jacob.

Okay, who would like to continue?

Eitan, go ahead.

Excellent.

So, what does Shmuel say?

A woman's voice is naked?

Yes, it is her erva. It is like her nakedness.

What does this mean?

Like we said earlier, an exposed tefach on a woman, her wrists, or even her

voice, it is like she has been exposed to nakedness.

Noam, care to share anything with us?

Yeah, how does Kol Esha come to prevent women in everyday thinking when the text

just seems to prevent it in the context of learning Torah?

Eitan, why don't you continue in the source book and try to answer?

Yo, yo, yo.

Netflix and chill tonight?

What? My house, movie night. You want to come?

You can't stop saying that. All right, well, I got Eitan and some of the other

guys coming, too. So you down?

Yeah, sure. All right, well, I got practice until about 6 .30 tonight, so

come after dinner.

See you around.

Hey.

You didn't answer any of my calls.

My mom gave me a ride. It was all good.

Are you okay?

Just dandy.

Let's take five before notes.

Hey.

Do you have something to say to me?

What? Maybe there's something on my face.

I see the way you and homophobe point at me.

I was just gonna ask you a question.

Okay.

It's nothing.

never mind it's just you're the only person i know who's um

gay yeah yeah so um

i don't know i just i just thought that maybe you would know where i could look

up like historical stuff i don't i don't know jesus you day school kid

That was uncomfortable.

What are you doing?

I don't know. He thought I was, like, insulting him or something.

No, why are you sitting here?

I always sit next to you.

Stop playing stupid, Nom.

I'm not playing stupid.

But why are you being so weird?

I'm acting weird because I asked you out and you said no.

That never happens.

What is this, a test?

Do you actually want me to ask you out in person?

Uh,

uh, sorry.

Hello? Hey, what do you have to do?

Can I come over now?

Jonah? Yeah, yeah, I just need to show you something on the computer. Are you

free?

Yeah, sure.

Great.

Got exciting news. Where's your room?

Uh, yeah.

What's up?

Wow.

This is not how I pictured your room.

How did you picture it?

It's so clean.

You live in a hotel?

Yeah. Uh, welcome to the Chateau Noam Stein.

What?

Nothing.

Bad joke.

You told me to do that.

I did.

One second.

The International Tracing Service.

I really think this could help us find more information about Meyer.

The service is exactly how it sounds. It's the International Tracing Service.

German website. You can request information about...

Family members and survivors.

Here.

Here.

You have to put in your own information first.

It's asking if this is for personal reasons or on behalf of a family member.

I guess for both, right?

Why'd you do that?

Nothing.

I'm just not in a music mood.

Interesting. Once you get used to the quality, it's actually a really good

I didn't say anything. It was really popular when it came out.

That's good.

Um, relationship to person being inquired about?

He did have a ring from him.

Do you think it's possible that they could have gotten married in Germany?

I don't know.

I do know that the gay community was very vibrant during the Weimar Republic.

Right before Hitler took over.

I guess, but friend of grandfather?

We don't have any of this information.

We have his name, gender, nationality, presumably.

Date of birth, marital status, parents' names.

We just have to hope his name's enough, I think.

Look, you can attach a photo.

Oh, let's go over a bit.

Send. That's it.

That's it?

What now?

We wait.

How do you know all that stuff about the Weimar Republic?

I like history.

Noah, we're home!

Uh, you should probably go.

Oh.

Okay.

It's just, um, it's my sister's wedding weekend, and so we have to get the house

ready. Mazel tov.

Thank you so much for helping with this. Sure.

Oh, what do we have here?

Uh, Jonah was just, uh, helping me research stuff for school. Just an

night researching Holocaust survivors.

For misplacement class.

I see.

Will Jonah be staying for dinner?

No, actually, he was just heading out. I will see you tomorrow.

Yeah.

I miss most.

Hearing you two practice piano together every evening.

It seems so quiet now.

Every day except Tuesday.

So we could watch The Voice.

You two really are so similar.

He was quite the singer back in his day.

You know, I got coffee with Miriam's mother today.

Sounds thrilling.

We were talking about how cute you two were at the last choir concert.

Don't. What?

I just think you're such good friends. Why not go out with her? Mom, she didn't

actually ask me out, okay?

Well, you could ask her.

Did Oprah bring this from Germany?

So this conversation's over? Mom, do you want help cleaning?

What?

Fine, fine.

Yes.

He got it at the Music Conservatory.

Another piece of his life left behind.

Can I help you find something?

No, thanks.

Actually, I could use your help. Of course. What title are you looking for?

Um, not so much of a title, but more of a topic.

Anything about the Holocaust.

Okay.

More specifically, um...

about the Holocaust and gay people.

Looks like we just have one title that matches that.

Here.

I do have a few others here that have chapters on homosexuality,

but aren't particularly about LGBT persecution.

Yes, this is plenty. Thank you.

You do need to check those out. Right, of course. Thank you.

Look who it is.

It's okay, day school.

I'm not going to spread my big gay cooties.

Shit.

This does not look like fun.

Guess you found all the gay history.

That's for school.

But don't tell anyone.

Right. Be sure to tell all my mutual friends.

What the hell?

What's up?

Movie night?

I called you like a million times yesterday.

Yeah, sorry. I just, uh...

I had a weird night. What happened?

Miriam stuff.

Now that's a straight up lie. No, I swear.

She's like not talking to me, okay? Yeah, obviously.

Because you just dumped her for the second time.

We're really good friends, okay? And I don't want to ruin that.

Dude, that is the gayest thing I've ever heard. You don't want to date her

because it's going to ruin your friendship?

Okay, seriously. I'm telling you this as your friend. Just do it.

Don't even think about it, alright?

Hey, Miriam.

Miriam, hey.

Go, go, go, go.

Hey, can I talk to you?

I'm very sorry about last night.

Okay.

Uh, I didn't want to offend you, you know. It's just we're really good

Then you want to keep it that way. Got it. No, I... I want to go out with you.

Uh, so will you go out with me?

So... What? You had to be the one to say it? I was just caught off guard.

We talk every day, so I just wasn't sure why you weren't saying it to me.

You're serious?

Yeah.

So you do want to go out with me?

Yeah.

I really want to say no just to piss you off.

It would give the school some good drama.

Okay.

Okay? Yeah.

The wedding weekend will be much less awkward now.

That's the real reason to ask.

Mom!

Thank God.

I'll see you later.

I have huge news. Me too. Actually, I found the perfect book at the library.

Just listen, okay? I was looking up different Holocaust stories before going

bed last night. As one does. And I found this story that's very similar to

yours. Minus the gay part.

Should we talk about it? Just listen. This woman was trying to find

about her father's sister, but nothing was listed online, so she assumed that

her aunt had died before the camps.

But then she realized nobody had uploaded anything because the woman was

alive.

Do you get it? This could be why we're not finding any information about him

online.

Uh, what do you mean?

I'm still alive.

You can thank me later.

What? For how stupidly happy you look.

I knew you liked her, man.

All right, everyone is staying in the classroom today. You can thank Zach and

Eitan for sneaking into the gym and ruining your privileges.

I'll be over here if you need me.

Okay, what was that book you were mentioning earlier?

Book? From the library.

Was it about Nazi persecution?

Right, right, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh, let me... War

and

genocide. A concise history of the Holocaust.

What topic did you guys end up picking? Oh, we're just, like, doing something

positive.

A positive project on the Holocaust?

Yeah. Uh, you know, reuniting with survivors after the war, like friends,

uh... Family oh wow that's really cool

What's so special about this you know throwing

like four mentions of homeless ow ow God sorry um Can we can we just take a

little break? Yeah? Yeah sure is everything okay? Yeah? Yeah?

Yeah? She's my my head is really killing me. Do you want me to get you some ice

or Tylenol or something? Yeah, that'd be great. Thanks

What's going on?

Um, just, uh, I'm feeling a little faint, you know.

I think it just hit me that, uh, we're talking about my grandfather.

Right, right, of course.

Um, I did find this book, actually.

Um, but I think I just need, like, a little time before we...

Whatever you need.

Maybe we could look at it over the weekend?

Wanna, like, hang out on Shabbos?

Hang out?

Never mind.

We don't have to. No, no, I'd like to.

My house tomorrow?

I can't.

What's your excuse this time?

Uh, no, not like that. I just, um...

I have to catch up on studying.

You already told me that all the girls were coming to your house for the

call -up.

Yeah, well, Miriam is going to be there, too.

Oh, okay.

Miriam's also catching up on studying.

All right, well, if you want to kiss and tell, I'm having all the guys over to

play basketball later, so... I'll just see you at school.

Right, right. You got to atone for your sins first. Zach, enough.

Dude, dude, what's wrong with you?

Me? You're the one who's being a dick.

Only for three nights.

Good luck with the tally train.

Yeah, I'll try.

Mom. You two are just so cute.

I'll see you later.

You're coming to school?

Your mom invited me to walk with you guys.

Noam! Knock first. We could have been changing.

You should lock the door.

Everything okay?

Just keep it down. I can hear you from like three houses over.

Sure thing.

What are you doing?

Just looking for your father's new Shabbat pants.

Can you not?

What's wrong?

I just need privacy, okay? If you need something for my room, just ask me and

I'll give it to you.

Okay, I'm sorry.

They're a light gray with stripes.

God bless

you.

I'll see you in a bit.

I don't know if there's... All I know is that there's like ten guys in her

school, so... Shabbos.

Hey.

Anyway, but yeah, dude, like, I'm thinking about a couple schools at

because...

Okay,

well, I feel like I've known Tali the longest.

Sure, honey.

Okay, excluding the womb.

And sibling.

And anyone from her childhood. Okay, fine.

I was exaggerating.

I've only known Tali since our day of classes in New York, but I feel like

literally known her for forever. I knew we were going to be friends as soon as

you let me borrow your notes. And it wasn't cheating. I was like... We were

chill about it. The professor was totally, whatever.

Are you sure we can even be in the house?

It's my house.

Of course we can be here.

Next time you can just come to my place, if you want.

Next time my sister gets married, or next time we hang out?

Is your room always this clean, or is this a new company?

I only clean it for guests with a high enough AP score.

You don't care if people see your mess?

I'm not the biggest people person.

Present company excluded.

Wow.

This is the first book ever published in English about gay persecution in the

Holocaust. Not until 1986.

It's crazy.

Not that crazy. How many similar books have been published since?

Here, look at this.

Homosexuality wasn't decriminalized in Germany until over 20 years after World

War II.

There were gay men that were liberated from concentration camps and then put

straight back in a jail to continue the rest of their sentences.

God.

Sorry.

You need a break?

No, no.

It's just hard to read the sections about their torture.

It's okay, I'll just read out loud if I find anything.

Sorry, do you have a shirt or something I can borrow? It's just that these

colors always make me itchy.

Yeah, sure.

Thank you.

Wow, that is next level.

Very few opportunities for me to show this one off.

Thank you.

So, what was your Opa like?

What? Am I not allowed to say Opa?

He was the nicest person I ever knew.

So, you two weren't that similar then?

Rude.

People always used to tell us that I was like a mini -replica of him.

I think that's why we got along so well.

How is it that nobody knew about your grandpa?

Do you think your grandma knew about him?

Then why would you marry him?

To save his life?

Are you okay?

Hasn't settled in yet? Yeah.

Thank you for doing this.

Of course. Thank you.

For what?

I don't know.

Giving me something to do on Shabbos.

What is this?

Do you know I'm signed from the International Tracing Service?

It arrived.

Oh, you're part of this? Not a big deal. Okay, we can just throw it out.

Mom, what are you doing? Everyone can hear you. No, I'm signed. I told you not

to go looking into this. I'm sorry.

You don't get to be sorry. These were Opa's.

They don't belong to you. Opa gave me that box. What is going on? Everything

okay? Nothing. Everybody, please just leave.

Why can't you let this go, Noam?

Why is it so important for you to keep a secret?

Some things are better kept secret.

Mom! No.

Stop it, Noam.

It's my daughter's wedding day tomorrow. Can you let me be happy?

This was it.

This was the answer.

The answer to what?

I have to talk about it if you don't want to.

You want me to go?

No.

Should I go?

No. Of course not.

Well, keep looking, then.

What about the box?

Maybe there's something else in there. What more information about him?

Nothing.

I've looked over and over and over again.

I love the hearty voice.

Of course you do.

Me too.

Nolan and I started a book club in fourth grade and read through the entire

collection. And then the entire collection of Nancy Drew.

I think we have this one at my house.

The two of them at his bar mitzvah?

My God.

I'm so dumb.

What? What is it?

I should have thought of this sooner.

Is he at your house?

Unless he's out partying at the club.

Oh, my God.

This is perfect. We will fill you in when we get back.

Hello?

Miriam's bubby was my opus friend since childhood. She knew him her whole life.

Holy shit.

She might know him. Yeah.

Hurry up.

Hey, no, slow down.

If you haven't noticed, I'm not the sporting type.

What the hell?

I thought you were doing work. I am.

We are.

For what?

It's a personal thing.

You want a couple seconds to come up with a better lie? I'm not lying, I

We're doing research about my grandpa.

Why are you keeping that a secret from me? I'm not keeping it a secret. I

just... It's personal.

But you still told Jonah.

Okay, I... I found evidence in a box that Opa gave me that he may have been

with a man before he left Germany.

So what?

What, are you two gay?

What?

Whatever.

Enjoy each other's company.

Hey.

I know your Opa my whole life.

He was like an older brother to me.

That's why we thought of coming to you. You knew him better than anyone.

Knowing someone for a long time does not mean knowing them better.

So, what is the question?

I was wondering if you knew any of Opus' friends before he left Germany?

Oh, you mean before the Nazis?

Heinrich. He was always Heinrich.

Very smart.

Many friends.

Oh, I'm beautiful.

Beautiful singer.

Like this one.

So he didn't change when he moved out here?

What do you mean?

Of course he changed.

Hitler took everything from us.

He marched away.

There's a lot about Opa's early life that he never told us.

And you want I should tell you?

Why you don't eat something?

Have something.

Please.

I left Germany many, many years before Opa.

And when I was 16, we met again here, finally.

So I don't know much what happened to him.

He never spoke about it.

We never talk about any of this.

Don't worry.

Now I'm okay to talk about it.

So what about before the war?

Um, you would have known Opa's, um, friends, wouldn't you?

Like Meyer Boehringer?

You know Meyer?

Do you know him?

No, not really. I don't know him. What do you mean?

Okay. He called me last year. You spoke with him?

Yes. And he said he was a good friend from Heinrich and he wanted to know

his life because Heinrich refuses to speak with him. Opal wouldn't talk to

Why not? I don't know. What else did he say? Did he say anything about the

relationship or anything about how they met? I am not the person to talk about

this. I don't know.

You should talk to Mike.

You have his number? No, but I have his address. He lives two hours away.

Really? Yes, really.

Two hours away.

Am I at your wedding tomorrow? The presentation's due Monday.

Just stay at my place tonight. Your family won't even know.

Is it okay if I come in? You're still here.

With all the people around, I thought maybe I could sneak into your room.

Right.

Your room looks like a hotel.

So I've heard.

What are you packing for?

Nothing.

Just, uh, I'm staying at Zach's tonight.

Oh.

Just, I'm trying to get out of the house. You know, it's pretty crazy.

I was thinking maybe we could hang out tonight.

Uh, maybe we could hang out next week.

You know, the wedding will be over. We can make plans to do something nice.

go to dinner or go on a date or something.

Are you sure you want to do this?

Go to Zach's?

No.

Us.

Yeah, of course.

What are you even saying?

I just... I want to make sure, you know, I'm not forcing you to date me.

Don't be ridiculous.

It's just been a really crazy week.

I get it.

At least you weren't stuck here all day.

I am definitely not doing a shot with Carla before my wedding.

Not that I was talking about us. No, you're fine.

Okay, I'll let you... Yeah, I should... I'll see you down there.

Okay.

Where are you going?

Shabbos is over. No, no, no, no. Go gather your sisters and everyone. We're

doing Havdalah. I'm kind of in a rush. Can I do Havdalah? What are you in a

for? We have a whole family together.

It'll be nice.

Hold it above your head, Rachel.

Yeah, you need a husband at least six feet tall.

Okay, everybody ready?

Baruch atah Adonai Hamavdil b 'n Kodesh l 'chol

What took so long? Uh, college girls?

Here, I got you something.

What is this ancient witchcraft?

It's a playlist that would be, um, appropriate for the situation.

You didn't download it on Spotify like a normal person? When was the last time

somebody gave you a Spotify playlist?

Here we go.

Tea for two and two for tea. Just me for you and you for me alone.

Nobody here sees us here.

Everybody on weekend vacation. We won't have it on here that we own a

telephone, dear.

Can't you see how happy we were?

That was me.

Nervous?

Very.

Yeah, me too, actually.

What should we do?

Oh, look.

Can

I

help you? Yes.

We're looking for someone. Are they expecting you? Our general visiting

are over at 9 p .m. No, but we really need to speak with him.

Do you know Meyer Berringer?

Do you?

Yes. Yeah, we're very close to them.

I think you should leave. Wait, this is not weird. I promise. If you want to

come back tomorrow and sign in, we'll pass along your name. You look useless.

Please, I'd like to know everything I can.

One moment, please. It's hard for me to hear you.

Better? Thank you.

So, me and Heineck.

I met Heineck at Stanch's Conservatorium in

1934.

Viverbo study.

But he was much better than me.

He was still performing here.

Only for fun, when he could.

They lost much in Germany.

Not just the ones they loved.

Heinrich was very fortunate to get out early.

Were you able to escape as well?

I am here

now.

That is what matters.

Meyer.

Yes?

Were you ever with another man after my grandfather?

do not understand.

Well, my grandfather married a woman, and for all I know, he was probably

with another man again.

With a man?

Heinrich is no family.

What? You and Heinrich weren't together?

But this is my sugar.

But...

What about this, uh, this letter? You gave this to him. It says, Heinrich, I

have never stopped loving you from Anne.

This is fine. He doesn't speak with us.

What do you mean?

Anne is for Maria Ludwig.

Who is she?

Heinrich and Maya were together before the war.

They were to be married.

But when your grandmother come along, she fall in love with Heinrich

and offered to fly to America if he agreed to marry

her. You see, her father was very wealthy and can afford

to set up for that.

A life where Heineck had no fault.

Otherwise, he stuck in Nazi Germany.

So, he lived life.

Never forgave himself.

So I miss Vermaia this whole time.

What about this photograph of the two of you?

Ah, this is our first day at university.

We were very close before he never spoke with us again.

What about the picture?

On the Yad Vashem site that Opal found?

What about this ring?

No, it's okay.

We did it. We were trying to find them and we found her. No.

I can't be.

Dom? Dom, what is it?

It was... It was such an extreme situation, you know?

There's really no way for us to judge.

I'm so sorry.

No, uh... I'm sorry, I'm... I'm not... I mean...

I'm sorry. Stop.

Please.

I didn't mean... Just don't tell anybody about this.

Okay?

Okay.

I'll finish writing something for Monday.

Thank you.

Why aren't you dancing?

It's your sister's wedding. It only happens once.

I don't feel like it.

I know it seemed like a strong reaction yesterday.

But I'm just trying to protect Opa.

He was so careful about keeping his past a secret.

I don't think he meant to share that box with you.

It's better to just not know.

You know, this may be you sometime soon.

Can I give you a broth, huh?

What are you doing? You should be dancing.

You don't need to think anything for me.

Please.

I promise.

Someday you'll find exactly who you need to find.

Whoever they may be.

We danced.

Hey.

I'm sorry about this weekend.

Whatever.

It's all good, man.

Sorry for being a dick.

All good.

Every time.

I don't know what she's so upset about. You guys have dated for, like, less than

a weekend.

Uh, Ms. Fleshman, hi. Can I talk to you for a second?

What is it?

Do you mind if I sit out today?

Is everything okay?

Um, uh, I had a difficult weekend.

I found out a lot of things about my grandfather.

As long as Jonah is okay presenting by himself, then I don't mind.

But for now, just hang out in the student lounge, okay?

doing my presentation about gay persecution in the Holocaust.

I chose this topic because of the way that we ignore the homophobia that

in our history and because of the way that it still remains a problem for gay

people in our community today.

It's pretty difficult to find information on the subject as much of

has been ignored or in some cases even redacted from published materials.

Watch it, day school.

What, you can't find your girlfriend?

You okay?

Um... I'm gay.

Oh. I don't plan on telling anybody for a while.

I have another month left of school, and I'm just, I'm gonna wait it out.

Yeah,

yeah, no, of course.

I won't tell anyone else.

Look, if you need someone to talk to, or, like, a friend, don't hesitate.

I can take you to all the gay libraries, all the gay history.

No, but seriously, you need someone to talk to him here.

Rushed up to the sidewalk.

Much, much better.

Really, it improves every time.

All right, anyone feel any problems?

Great. Closing song. Who wants to volunteer?

Noam.

Glad to see you stepping up. What have you got for us?

It's an old one.

Go for it.

There's a saying old says that love is blind.

Still, we're often told.

and ye shall find.

So I'm

going to seek a certain lad I've had

in mind.

that he turns out to be.
