Six-year-old Gretl Schmidt is over a train bound for Auschwitz. Jakób Kowalski is planting a bomb on the monitors. As World Warfare II attracts to a close, Jakób fights with the Polish amount of resistance resistant to the crushing forces of Germany and Russia. They suggest to destroy a German troop transportation, but Gretl's unscheduled coach gets to the bomb first. Gretl is really the only survivor. Though spared from the attention camp, the orphaned German Jew finds herself lost in a country hostile to her people. When Jakób discovers her, guilt and fatherly compassion prompt him to use her home. For 3 years, the young man and little girl form a bond over the secrets they must conceal from his Catholic family. But she can't stick with him permanently. Jakób transmits Gretl to South Africa, where German warfare orphans are promised smart futures with adoptive Protestant individuals - as long as Gretl's Jewish root base, Catholic education, and associations to communist Poland should never be discovered. Separated by continents, politics, religious beliefs, language, and years, Jakób and Gretl will probably never see the other person again. But the events they have got both survived and their idea that the human being spirit can triumph over the ravages of warfare have shaped a bond of love that no circumstances can triumph over.
