Seventeen-year-old Christine Bolz knows there’s a whole new world beyond the German village in which she lives. It’s a world she has discovered through music, books and through the man that she works for, Issac Bauermann (a son of a wealthy, cultured Jewish family). She and Issac share the same dream; however, difficulties show themselves as Germany is a changing country under Hitler’s regime in 1938. Anti-Jewish propaganda & sentiments litters the streets, any opposition or disagreement to the regime is squashed and new laws forbidding Christine to marry and work for Issac are now in place. Subjected to Gestapo’s wrath and the horrors of the Dachau concentration camp, Christine is desperate to survive…to be with the man she loves and to speak out about the atrocities of the war.
