-pp. 7-8 where Dieter and Greta are running away to Canada after the horrible aftermath in Berlin
 * Good sections to read aloud:**

Dieter’s family lives in Berlin. His father, Ernst, opposes the war that Hitler is trying to fight, but he can’t do anything about it, and so when his oldest son, Reinhard, decides that he is going to enlist in Hitler’s army, he tries to change his mind, but can’t. What Ernst and the rest of the family (mom (Eva); sister (Greta); Dieter (brother) don’t know is that when the army “resettles” the Jews of their community, they are really killing them. It isn’t until Dieter becomes a part of the war that they all truly understand what is happening to them and their town and country, but by then, it is truly too late. What will become of this family?
