The Last Rights

April 1945 - As the war in Europe draws to a chaotic and bloody finale and the days of the Third Reich are numbered, a train filled with a cargo of Nazi gold sets off from Berlin destined for a secret location in Bavaria. On board a young Polish Jew is about to witness a chain of events leading to the greatest robbery and criminal conspiracy of all time.October 2018 - After nearly eight decades later, a Lisbon bank is about to finally close its safe deposit facility. The secrets and treasures locked away over decades will soon be revealed. Influential people in powerful positions have reasons to be concerned.Fusing together the two events are the recollections of Rita Krakowski, Holocaust survivor, condemned as a Nazi collaborator and a fugitive from justice.
