In 1938, as Hitler's inexorable rise continues, Teddy is re-assigned to the US Consulate in Amsterdam to replace fleeing staff. Teddy's job is to process visa applications, and by 1939, refugees from Nazi-conquered Poland, Austria, and other countries are desperate to secure safe passage to America. As Hitler sweeps through France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, and Holland, the screws tighten and law after virulent law is passed to threaten the lives, indeed the very existence of the Jewish people. When Teddy and his girlfriend Sara are introduced to an orphaned young girl named Katy, whohas been abandoned on the grounds of a nursery school, they agree to adopt her. Teddy comes to realize that he holds the key to saving lives, whether five, fifty, or five hundred--and makes the dangerous and selfless decision to join with underground groups and use his position at the Consulate to rescue those with no other avenue of escape."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Rescue $x Rescue $v Fiction. $9 83454 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft $9 83459 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft $9 200624 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240813011659.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=76FBBB6C593911EF97E47FEE27ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
