The adventurous, humorous, sometimes wonderfully strange exploits of a youth during his family's adjustment to a new world.

Fleeing from the Nazi invasion of France, the Engelhards, a proud and wealthy family, are forced to adjust to life as common refugees in Canada. Highlighted by a youth's adventures as his eyes open up to his new world, the 18 compelling short stories combine both the urgency of the family's circumstances with the ironic side of trying to fit into a new culture. With themes of humiliation, intimidation, and alienation, this powerful book illustrates how the Holocaust did not end in 1945, but continued to reverberate through successive decades, even until the present day.
