(2) 4-6 Growing up in 1930s Amsterdam, Jaap Penraat sees the steady curtailment of the Jews' rights; after the 1940 Blitzkrieg, Jaap, now twenty, turns his architectural drafting skills to perfecting false identity and travel papers for his Jewish friends. The illustrations are as action-packed as the text. Text and pictures both have a boyish enthusiasm that nevertheless acknowledges the real human cost of the war.
