"Germany 1937. Ruth Friedman, her home destroyed, her husband arrested by the SS, is left to fend for herself and her four children. Forced to live on her wits to protect her family, she alone stands as their shield against the Nazis. Wherever she turns, Ruth is faced with indifference, hatred, cruelty. Living with the rising tyranny of the Nazis and their determination to make the Reich Jew Free, Ruth and her family run a desperate race to escape the terror as it marches inexorable to its 'final solution' of the Jewish Problem."--Publisher description.
