When Vinay Gupta heard of the daring exploits of his grandfather, he embarked on a journey to uncover the truth. What he found was the exceptional tale of an unassuming yet enterprising man from Punjab who chose to help complete strangers in their most dire hour of need.The year is 1938 and Kundanlal, a machine tool manufacturer from Ludhiana, is in Vienna for a surgery. As he is recovering, he befriends Lucy and Alfred Wachsler, a young Jewish couple about to have their first child. From them Kundanlal learns of the changing political climate in Europe-the attacks against Jewish people and the Aryanisation of their businesses. As the owner of multiple factories, he finds himself in a unique position to help.
