Question


How does Kurt discover what his father in law did to his aunt.

reply

I don't think Kurt really knew for sure that his father-in-law had been directly responsible for signing her death warrant. Kurt must have suspected that Professor Seeband was involved in the business of sending "unhealthy" people to their deaths, based on the fact he had been an SS doctor who obviously had some connection to the top guy who was arrested, but he couldn't have known the details.

Thank you. I was talking with someone afterwards and they seemed to believe he’d figured it out. I couldn’t understand how.

I think he had a premonition when he completed the overlay painting of him sitting on Elizabeth's lap and pointing to his FIL

I think there were enough clues for Kurt to suspect that the Professor had that type of position. He was a Nazi doctor, fled to the west even though he was in a great position in the east, reacted suspiciously to the arrest headline and was trying to "preserve" his own bloodline. What makes me think he suspected the Professor himself of killing his aunt is he doesn't seem surprised when he reacts so strongly to the painting.
