The story about one man – an artist and an intellectual – who was imprisoned by two brutal regimes, the Nazis and the Soviets. ‘The Professor’ is a man who lives by his own personal version of the Ten Commandments. After miraculously surviving imprisonment in a Nazi concentration camp through a bit of ironic fate, he writes a memoir of his life, which becomes the target of the Soviet censors. The so-called “freedom” of Communism becomes just as oppressive as the German concentration camp. —Wikipedia
