A young Jewish boy recalls life in Hitler's Germany. Although Daniel is a fictitious character, his story was inspired by the real experiences of many of the more than one million children who died in the Holocaust.

Helen Waterford and Alfons Heck were born just a few miles from each other in the German Rhineland, but Helen's fate took her to the Auschwitz extermination camp, while Alfons ranked high in the Hitler Youth.
