Ten-year-old boy hides on the top of the staircase as his father tells a horrific story about the holocaust and escaping being gassed to death in Nazi concentration camp. After his father passes away, the boy, now a fifty-year-old man receives a cassette tape that his father made six months earlier. On the tape is an interview taken by an employee of a holocaust museum. As the son stands in his kitchen and listens to the tape, he is stunned and amazed at what he learns about his father and regrets they never had this talk in person.
