Description
In Warsaw in 1939, a mysterious boy wanders the streets and survives by stealing what food he can. Befriended by a band of orphaned Jewish boys, he begins to share their sleeping quarters. When the Nazi Jackboots” march into the town, he greets them happily, admires their shiny boots and tanks, and hopes he can join their ranks someday. By the time trains come to take the ghetto’s residents away, Misha realizes what many adults do not-that the passengers won’t be going to resettlement villages at the journey’s end.”
