WW2 historical fiction about a Dutch teenager. She gets pregnant and is kicked out. She becomes a cleaner on the train tracks and sees what’s happening to the Jewish people. She takes a Jewish baby to spare them from where the trains are going and they find shelter in the Circus. Another performer finds shelter in the circus as well. This story brings together their two stories in a heartbreaking and realistic way.
