Together with her Jewish family, in 1943, 14-year-old Anneke Van Raalte, is forcibly removed from her home outside of Amsterdam and relocated to the Nazi concentration camp at Theresienstadt. The Nazi soldiers’ brutality toward the Jews makes life almost unbearable for Anneke. Anneke cannot understand why her father uses his artistic talent to promote Nazi propaganda. So long as her father is useful, however, the Van Raalte family’s lives may be spared.
