Summary

This compelling Holocaust action adventure story tells of bravery, sacrifice, and the survival of the human spirit against Hitler and the horrors of war.

It begins in November 1938 on The Night of the Broken Glass, when Jewish people of Germany are terrified as Hitler's men shatter their store windows, steal, destroy their belongings, and arrest many Jewish fathers and brothers.

Parents face unparalleled fear for their own lives, but their focus is on protecting their beloved children. When England arranges to take the children out of Germany by train, the Kindertransport is organized, and parents scramble to get places on the trains for their young family members, worried about what the future will hold.

Soon, trains filled with Jewish children escaping the Nazis chug over the border into Holland, where they are ferried across the English Channel to England and to freedom. But for Peter, the shy violin player, his sister Becca, and his friends Stephen and Hans, life in England holds challenges, as well. Peter's friend Eva, who did not get a seat on the Kindertransport, is left to the evil plans of Hitler.

Peter, working his musician's hands raw at a farm in Coventry, wonders if they should have stayed and fought back instead of escaping. When the Coventry farm is bombed as the Nazis reach England, Peter feels he has nothing left. He decides it's time to stand and fight Hitler.

Peter courageously returns to Germany to join the Jewish underground resistance, search desperately for his mother and sister he left behind in Berlin, and try to rescue his friend Eva.
