"As Laura and Dieter Vogel settle into their new lives in the English countryside, their children struggle to balance duty and conscience in German occupied Europe. European cities and their citizens feel the full force of German injustice, but not all are willing to bend the knee. From France to Poland, resistance groups fight from the shadows to thwart Nazi rule, and their goal to exterminate jews. In Poland, three men are embroiled in a high-stake game of intrigue in which the winner will take all and the losers will face certain death. Is an idealistic ghetto doctor, resolved to oppose the Third Reich, willing to betray his contry? Can a jewish ghetto inmate find strength and luck to escape his fate? The Łódź ghetto, run by the Gestapo and a Jewish police force becomes a battlefield where only the strongest and most devious will survive."--Back cover
