Items related to Diebstahl (The Theft)
A young American Vice Consul struggles with the conflict between legal and moral criteria for admitting Hans Eschlinger to the United States. A decision that should have been simple becomes more painful and complex, as the protagonist investigates Hans' background. The investigation leads back many years to the Holocaust and to the unsolved murder of Hans' father. The results hinge, in part, on Hans' theft of a Christmas tree for his stepmother when he was a youth, an act that, though not called diebstahl on Hans' police record, was, in fact just that.... an act of "moral turpitude" that could keep Hans from going to America. After many weeks of interaction with Hans, the Vice Consul finally learns the truth, with results that deeply change both his life and that of Hans Eschlinger.
