The Kid Officer

As the Anschluss parade shakes Vienna, young Friedrich Biermann watches from his balcony, unaware that his childhood is ending. Locked in a school closet the next day and suddenly shunned, he finds himself thrust into a desperate flight from Nazi persecution as his Jewish family flees across Europe. Their harrowing journey leads through hunger in Paris and a perilous escape from Marseille before reaching Mandatory Palestine. There, witnessing British forces turn away ships of refugees fleeing the Holocaust, Friedrich's anger sparks a moral awakening that drives him to make a daring choice, one that will shape his life forever.
