(2) YA In 1932 Berlin, thirteen-year-old, privileged Gaby Schramm refuses to join the Hitler Youth. Lasky effectively explicates the complex history while also depicting the comforts, loyalties, and Nazi-induced tribulations of a thoughtful and humane "Aryan" family. Lasky ends with Germany heading toward world war; of the Schramms' future, we see only their despairing flight from their homeland.
