Description

Abigail (Gail) Lovitz watched as her grandfather was killed by S.S. Officer Boris Hefner. She was ten years old. It would be the first time she would experience the truth of Nazi hate for those of the Jewish religion. The mental image of her grandfather's death would become the root of how she would like the world to be, and prove that horror is a life-long deviation. After leaving her homeland at the age of eighteen, Gail becomes a U.S. citizen and achieves her ambition of becoming an FBI agent. Six years later, and while working as an agent, she finds that she is once again learning of the horrors related to supremacy. The Shibboleth tells of how the actions of one's prejudice can steal the innocence of another, and how one's commitment to justice can become another's demise. However, it is with the image of Boris Hefner standing over her deceased grandfather, and the knowledge of a death serum, that Gail Lovitz finds herself facing the wrath of long ago.
