description: It was September 1939, the Germans advanced into Poland enslaving thousands of Jews, forcing them into ghetto prisons throughout Poland and Europe. This story is about a family caught up in the atrocities of the Nazi Operation called Reinhardt, the code name for the mass murder of nearly two million Jews throughout Poland during the Second World War. This heartfelt story is told through the eyes of a mother (Christa). One day Christa opens up her heart to her daughter Julia about the past. Her story is of a boy, his name Aaron, living his life during the Nazi occupation. His parents Hanna and Peter fearing the outbreak of war and the occupation of Poland send little Aaron to live with his grandfather Hans, hoping he would have a safer and brighter future there. Sadly, fairy tales in faraway places seldom happen and it is not long before Aaron and his Grandfather Hans are struggling for their lives.
