Michael is everything Josef is not: spontaneous, poetic, and unafraid to love. Even though his passionate relationship with a Dutch girl called Elke strictly is forbidden by the Nazis - for he is Jewish, and she is not.

But as the dark days of war continue, with danger and betrayal at every turn, no-one can be trusted, and no one is safe.
