Winner of the Batchelder award in 1972.

Friedrich and his best friend were growing up in Germany in the early 1930s. At first, Friedrich seemed to be the more fortunate, but when Hitler came to power, things began to change. Friedrich was expelled from school and became an orphan when his mother died and his father was arrested and deported.
This is a terrifying story of the destruction of a single Jewish family.
