In the Bavarian village of Schwarzenfeld, they followed an American citizen.Fr. Viktor Koch, C.P., has quietly ministered to the people of Schwarzenfeld throughout the war. In a time of oppression, he has struggled to keep their faith alive, despite the watchful eyes of Nazi authorities.As he peacefully resists efforts to end his missionary work, Fr. Viktor wrestles with his German heritage and identity. Why does he feel rooted in Germany? Is he following a higher calling or bound by the mystical forces of his ancestry?
