Description
An unforgettable story of courage against all odds—an ideal choice for fans of the bestsellers “The Nightingale” by Kristin Hannah and “All the Light We Cannot See” by Anthony Doerr.
1941. Amsterdam is occupied by the Nazis. Professor Josef Held understands that his hometown is now under the power of a destructive force that destroys everything in its path—it has no mercy and no compassion. And it seems Held has nothing left to do but submit to the new regime, stepping over himself. Like most people—quietly accept his fate. But when confronted with Nazi arbitrariness, Held can no longer turn a blind eye.
One of his students, Michael Blum, has drawn the attention of the Gestapo. A naïve young man whose only fault is simply that he was born Jewish. Held decides to hide Michael in his attic.
The boy tells the professor about his dreams—about his beautiful and fearless girlfriend, Elke. Michael is sure that even the war won’t separate them. Josef sees determination in his young friend’s eyes—his desperate thirst to live. Held understands that he has to help him.
But one day, Josef is faced with an impossible choice. In the grim days of war, when danger and betrayal lurk around every corner, no one can be trusted. Michael’s life will depend on Josef. Professor Held must find the hero within himself and do everything possible to keep Michael alive—even if it means putting his own life in mortal danger.
