This guilt seems to spill over to Art making him feel guilty for surviving and not knowing what his father went through. Another huge theme is race, which

Hitler wanted to take lead of Germany and restore their power after their defeat, from there on, Hitler took charge. Hitler heard the news that Germany had been defeated, while he was in the hospital, that Germany has been defeated.
