Notes

Summary: In 1932 Berlin, Gaby Schramm witnesses the beginning of Hitler's rise to power, as soldiers become ubiquitous and the family's friend, Albert Einstein, leaves the country while Gaby's parents bury his books and papers in their small yard. If you liked reading "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" you may enjoy this book, too.

In the back of the book is a list of the real-life characters Gaby encounters in the book and a brief paragraph on their lives.
