I finished this book last night and thought about it the rest of the night.  I've read a lot of Holocaust stories but few have been able to put me in the heart of the action.  The author weaves such beauty and such heartache out of her stories. At first I felt sorry for Manfred Blau since he was picked on and bullied in school.  I didn't blame him for trying to rise as high as possible in the party, but he truly became the animal that identifies the Nazi party.  Then there was a Jewish man who was as bad as the Nazis - this book showed me there are good and bad in every race and affiliation.  I couldn't put this book down until I finished it.  It was that good!
