Review Detail

Reader reviewed by mearley

Based on the true story of Helmuth Hubener, this novel shows a boy's gradual progression from supporting Hitler whole-heartedly, to realizing the evil of the Nazi party, and eventually taking a stand against this evil. It was interesting to see how Nazism affected Helmuth and all his friends and family members. The author includes excellent historical information at the end. If you are interested in the Holocaust, this is a story that is not often told, but worth hearing.
