Description
What does it look like when fascism turns your country upside down?
How do you fight bigotry and hatred when hopelessness and apathy have set in?
How does individual action make a difference in the quest for equality and freedom?
And what is so important about the post office?
These are not questions about modern day America, these are questions we investigate about 1940s Hungary.
