ItÆs November 9, 1938ùKristal Nacht, the ôNight of Breaking Glass.ö As HitlerÆs minions blaze through Berlin, arresting Jews, burning homes, shops, and synagogues, Pastor Karl Ibsen races to aid the Kalners, a Jewish family in his congregation. But will he be too late? And what price will his wife, Helen, and children, Lori and Jamie, pay for his actions?

As Berlin burns, KarlÆs family waits in New Church for the Nazis to come. The Wallich family hides in a nearby apartment. Lucy Strasburg, girlfriend of a Nazi officer, watches with horror, realizing what the ôglory of the Reichö really means . . . and wondering what, if anything, she can do.

For all, there is only one hopeùthe Danzig Passage. A narrow corridor to hope and freedom.
