Episode 1
Résumé de l'épisode 1 Erin, jeune Londonienne, s'apprête à partir passer l'été avec sa meilleure amie, Eliza Meyer, en Israël. Eliza doit y effectuer son service militaire. Avant de partir, à la demande de sa mère, Erin se rend à l'hôpital pour voir son grand-père Len, qui est dans le coma. Ils n'ont jamais été proches. Par la suite, alors que la mère d'Erin s'attèle à trier froidement les affaires de Len, Erin met la main sur un épais journal relatant les années que Len a passées en Palestine juste après la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. A l'insu de sa mère, Erin emporte le journal pour le lire dans l'avion qui la conduira en Israël. Page après page, elle y découvre l'incroyable histoire de son grand-père. Le récit débute au crépuscule de la Seconde Guerre mondiale lorsque Len, membre des troupes britanniques, est parmi les premiers à pousser les portes du camp de concentration de Bergen-Belsen.
