Lex Lesgever, born and raised in the Jewish quarter of Amsterdam, had just turned 11 when the Germans invaded in May 1940. When his eldest brother Wolf is arrested during a raid in February 1941, Lex is confronted with the horrific consequences of the war. It marks the beginning of a devastating time both for the world and for the small boy who had to survive it alone. This tale of the horror shows the capability of individuals trapped in a time and place of hopelessness.
