Always a Stranger

During the politically turbulent years of the early twentieth century in central Europe, a child grows up in poverty, serves as a young soldier in WWI, participates in the labor movement, and joins the resistance against fascism and anti-Semitism. As a result, he suffers persecution and is forced into exile. Despite sacrificing his personal freedom, he succeeds in being a loving husband and caring father, and often makes time to share meals with friends and family. Social gatherings allow him to engage in passionate discussions about justice for all, always persevering in his hope and belief in a more equitable and conflict-free society. Anton Alfons's life, his spirit and actions resonate as much today as they did yesterday.
