Perestroika 5.3

From LitWiki

Belize and Louis sneak into Roy's hospital room where his dead body lay to take the remaining AZT pills. Belize tells Louis that she needs him to thank Roy for the drugs by having him recite the Jewish prayer for the dead (the Kaddish). Louis refuses at first but eventually agrees and reluctantly begins reciting what he can recall of the Kaddish. Ethel Rosenberg is also in the room and recites the prayer with Louis as a sign of forgiveness to Roy.
