About this episode

The episode explores Friedrich Zawrel's complex journey through survival and justice after his childhood experiences.

After everything he survived as a child at Spiegelgrund, Friedrich ends up back in prison in the 1970s, where he is sent for a psychiatric evaluation. It's hard to believe what would happen next! This is the part of the story where things don’t resolve neatly, and where the idea of justice becomes complicated, delayed, and in many ways incomplete. Learn more about your ad choices.
