Kristallnacht
The life of Johannes Neumann, a young Jewish boy living in Berlin, is suddenly thrown into chaos on the night of Broken Glass-Kristallnacht in 1938. While his parents are rounded up by Nazi officials, Johannes finds refuge in the home of a German family. Johannes' rescue and safety hinges upon his ability to dutifully serve the Gruber Family despite his longing for his own parents, his fear of Nazi capture, and his growing affection for the Gruber's physically disabled daughter, Anna.

But, the secret is perpetuated for an additional 35 years and it's only then that Johannes is confronted with the paradox of the Grubers as saviors and enslavers.
