He is a man of high ethical standards, but the arrival of a young man from Germany causes him to challenge and courageously face the demons from his past. This part of the story portrays a journey of suspicion and hate, which plays out on the canvas of this story and ultimately results in learning to trust and to forgive.
Bauer's actions speak of a vital truth--that until we are committed to revisiting and making amends for the mistakes of the past, that past will hold us hostage and color our present.
