Notes
Description
"It's 1939, and all across Europe the Nazis are coming for Jews and anti-fascists. The only way to avoid being imprisoned or murdered is to assume a new identity. For that, people are desperate for papers. And for that, the underground needs forgers. Sarah, a young Jewish artist, and her music teacher and father figure, Mr. Lieb, have already fled one home--Berlin. Now in Paris, they meet Cesar, a Spanish Republican who knows well the brutality of fleeing fascism. When the war reaches Paris, they join thousands of other refugees in a chaotic exodus south. In Marseille, they're received by friends and become part of a resistance the government is actively hunting. Sarah, now Simone, continues her forgery work in the shadows, expertly creating false papers that will mean the difference between life and a horrifying death for many. When Mr. Lieb is arrested and imprisoned in Les Milles internment camp, Simone, Cesar, and their friends enlist the help of American journalist Varian Fry--a man known for plotting the escapes of high-profile people like Andre Breton and Marc Chagall--in their efforts to rescue him. Will passion and cunning be enough to keep them all alive?" --back cover.
