Summary
ACT 2: In our previous episode, the rivalry between Captain Tibor and Dov over Inga's love intensified, culminating in a brutal fight that Dov emerged victorious, leaving the Captain humiliated in front of his men. Meanwhile, Avrum's oldest daughter Devorah has made a new friend, single mother Clara, who's offered Devorah a babysitting job, while Eden, who faced discrimination in the school band due to their Jewish heritage, is being tutored by family friend Fenric in hopes of securing a spot at the prestigious Franz Liszt school of music in Budapest for a special summer program. And lastly, Avrum and his eldest son, Isaac, visit Avrum's father, Moshe, when Isaac makes a shocking discovery — the Hungarian police are about to forcefully enter Moshe's house.

LOVE & DARKNESS is a multi-generational saga tracking the triumphs and tragedies of a large, powerful Hungarian Jewish family during WWII. Based on an incredible true story.
A Hungarian Rabbi, Avrum Katz, and his family face a relentless storm of anti-Semitic oppression in 1941 Hungary. When their lives are shattered by a secret revealed and a shocking act of violence, they're thrust into a world of dark secrets and impossible choices. As they struggle for survival on the brutal frontlines of war, 'Love & Darkness' is an epic tale of family, sacrifice, and the enduring strength of the human spirit.
