story is told in the first person and the name of the main character is
not given. The young man and Friedrich were both born in 1925 in Germany
and live in the same apartment house. Friedrich's parents are middle class
Jews. The narrator's family is very poor. His father is unemployed and
the family sometimes takes handouts from Friedrich's family. The boys grow
up together and enjoy a close friendship. As the Nazis come to power, things
gradually change. As Friedrich's family has more and more taken away from
them, the narrator's family gains more and more. Friedrich's father looses
his job, the family is kicked out of their apartment and Friedrich is forced
to leave school. This book offers us a look at how Jews were treated during
the Nazi regime. If you want to read a realistic account of what life was
like in Germany during that time, read FRIEDRICH by Hans Peter Richter. |
