As the Anschluss erupts in Vienna, young Friedrich Biermann’s childhood shatters. Fleeing Nazi persecution across Europe, his Jewish family endures hunger, exile, and a desperate escape to Mandatory Palestine. There, witnessing ships of refugees turned away, during the Holocaust, Friedrich’s anger sparks a moral awakening and a daring act of courage.
