Publisher's Synopsis
This is how it happened...
Berlin, 1933. 14-year-old Felix Stoltenberg is desperate to be friends with Klaus Beck to the point he defies his anti-Nazi father and joins the Hitler Youth. As the years pass and Hitler's grip on the nation tightens, Felix and Klaus' boyhood pranks take a sinister turn.
When Felix is forced to choose between political faith and family, he knows what to do - whatever the price.
1942. Now, a young, idealistic man, still devoted to the Nazi cause, Felix's life and sense of identity fall apart when he falls in love with Stella, a Bohemian artist.
Stella is beautiful, a woman of mystery and ideas, and she is Jewish.
