While most Jews fleeing Hitler’s Nazi regime in the late 1930s had increasingly fewer places that would receive them, Jewish children fared a little better. The parallel stories in this novel – of two special young people in Vienna, of childless Tante Truus in Amsterdam, and of Adolf Eichmann’s rise to power – eventually converge in a compelling story of bravery, sacrifice, and survival.
