Recounts one family's trials and tribulations in Nazi occupied Holland during World War II. The captivating narrative, a tale of memories filtered through a young boy's innocent eyes, details the struggle for survival in the face of food and fuel shortages under the oppressive and ever present cloud of German occupation.
