The teenager goes down to ask his mother (Cynthia Banks), the date on the back says 1942. She tells Daniel that one of the men in the picture is Joseph Banks, his grandfather.

It turns out that the grandfather is delivering the Transcript from a conference at Wannsee in which the ‘final solution’ for the Jewish population is decided e.g. The Holocaust. The large red swastika on top of the transcript identifies the grandfather as a Nazi.
 The Granddad is found out to really be Lukas Schneider, his name before he moved to England from Germany.
