About this listen

Inspired by the true story of the author’s ancestors, this enthralling WWII novel tells of the Kisch family’s heart-wrenching struggle against Nazi oppression.

When the Nazis invade the Netherlands in 1940, the Jews of Amsterdam know nothing of the Final Solution and the Holocaust. As the measures imposed by the cruel SS become ever more repressive, sister and brother, Rachael and Hendrik, join the Dutch Resistance.

Meanwhile, their parents, Franck and Elizabeth, strive to keep their younger brother, Hannes, safe, but time is against them all, as every day more and more Jews are being deported to unknown camps in Eastern Europe. Will the family be able to stay together and survive?

Listeners moved by Schindler’s List, The Tattooist of Auschwitz, and The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas will be gripped. Download today!

A harrowing yet compelling story, beautifully written and powerful in its imagery.

While the family at the heart of this story is fictional, the historical details throughout depict both the best and worst of humanity.

The author’s poignant postscript underscores the chilling facts and statistics of the atrocity which must never be forgotten.

This book is an essential listen!
