Joana is a nurse that just wants to help people and find her family. She takes charge of the group and helps to save the pregnant teen and the others in her group.
Emilia is a teenager that is pregnant and running. She is also Polish, which is a crime almost as bad as being Jewish in Germany.
Florian is a thief running to what he hopes is safety with something he hopes to save from everyone.
The shoe poet and the little boy are people that happened upon the group. The shoe poet tells the story of others through the type of shoes they have, the wear on them, and the way they carry themselves. The little boy is looking for his family. He knows where they're supposed to be, but his grandma didn't wake up one day and now he's got nobody.
Alfred is a German soldier. He is trying to prove himself, but there is something off about him. He loves Hitler and hates almost everyone else. He's not a smart man, but thinks he is.
All of these people come together to try and survive. They try to find and create families.

History divided us, but through reading we can be united in story, study, and remembrance. Books join us together as a global reading community, but more important, a global human community striving to learn from the past.

The point of view were taken from four different people with different characteristics yet it wouldn't confuse you to read it. Every chapter flows just like a river and very enjoyable to read. A page-turner book, beautiful yet tragic.
