Description

Superb, sensitive, honest and compelling . . . a simple but terrifying tale of the destruction of a single Jewish family. Winner of the Mildred L. Batchelder Award. His best friend thought Friedrich was lucky. His family had a good home and enough money, and in Germany in the early 1930s, many were unemployed. But when Hitler came to power, things began to change. Friedrich was expelled from school, and then his mother died and his father was deported. For Friedrich was Jewish.
