They have been charged by their commanders with tracking down and bringing back for execution “one of them”—a Jew. Having flushed out a young man hiding in the woods, they decide to rest in an abandoned house before continuing their journey back to the camp. As they prepare food, they are joined by a passing Pole whose virulent anti-Semitism adds tension to an already charged atmosphere. Before long, the group’s sympathies begin to splinter when each man is forced to confront his own conscience as the moral implications of their murderous mission become clear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCalled “masterly and necessary” by the \u003ci\u003eTimes Literary Supplement\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Meal in Winter\u003c\/i\u003e recalls the claustrophobia of Roman Polanski’s \u003ci\u003eThe Pianist\u003c\/i\u003e and Louis Begley’s \u003ci\u003eWartime Lies\u003c\/i\u003e.
