Hamburg, June 1945: The city is in ruins. And in the midst of the ruins live Traute, Hermann and Jakob. But Jakob calls himself Friedrich because he still doesn’t want anyone to find out that he is Jewish. When Hermann discovers the secret, he wants nothing more to do with Jakob. Kirsten Boie’s powerful and vivid book explores anti-Semitism and how the main characters are linked to each other by the terrors of war and the Nazi regime. Host: Angela Furtkamp
