In 1930s Germany, the Grunbaum and Sturmman families shared a deep friendship, bound by years of camaraderie. Chaim Grunbaum and Wilhelm Sturmman were childhood friends, inseparable until the rise of the Nazi regime severed their ties. As the political landscape darkened, Wilhelm joined the SS, distancing himself from his Jewish friends. The Grunbaums faced relentless persecution, losing their business, dignity, and eventually, their freedom when they were deported to Theresienstadt and later Auschwitz. Yet, amidst this horror, the Sturmman family secretly sheltered Mendel Grunbaum, risking their own lives to protect him from the Gestapo. The war forced these families onto opposing sides, testing loyalties and redefining the meaning of morality and survival.
