Synopsis
Karin Levi and her family must hide out in their attic to avoid the German soldiers who are ravaging their village and taking Jews away to die in the camps. Eventually, they are forced to leave their home entirely, and must continue to outwit the soldiers by relying upon the help of strangers. When Maman becomes sick, she insists that Karin and her brother Marc leave for America without her. When they arrive in America, they learn that their beloved Maman has died--but, meanwhile, they are building a new life, with new friends, in a new country. After spending years fleeing from the Nazis in war-torn Europe, twelve-year-old Karin Levi and her older brother Marc find a new home in a refugee camp in Oswego, New York.
