In 'The Memory Monster,' a young historian becomes the leading expert on the Holocaust's darkest stations. At his post as a guide in Poland's death camps, his driving mission turns to a disturbing obsession. Immersed too long in the shadows of the past, he grapples with the blurry line between honoring and becoming ensnared by history's horrors. He judges students for their detachment while recognizing the monster within, admiring the efficiency of the oppressors. A thought-provoking parable on the struggle to keep the dead's memories sacred without succumbing to the savagery oneself.
