The Condemned Of Altona by Jean Paul Sartre
In postwar Germany a wealthy bourgeois family is shaken when the youngest son, shut away in the ancestral home and haunted by the country’s recent crimes, is confronted by relatives who have their own political ambitions and moral compromises; the household’s polite veneer peels away as rivalries, hypocrisies and suppressed guilt surface, forcing each character to face questions of personal responsibility, freedom and the consequences of inaction, and driving the group toward a bitter, tragic reckoning.
