OLDER FICTION
Dowswell, Paul

The Ausländer

(2) YA Thirteen-year-old Polish orphan Piotr (renamed Peter) is fostered by a family in Berlin. Rather than embracing their Nazi ideology, he and his friends engage in rebellious behavior, including hiding Jews. In Dowswell's portrait of Nazi Germany, the characters are rich and nuanced; the action is swift and suspenseful; and the juxtaposition of wartime nobility and cruelty is timeless.
