Overview
La lucha por la supervivencia de un niño judío en la Francia ocupada por los nazis.
El peluquero Joffo, un honrado judío establecido en el París ocupado por los nazis, decide dispersar a su familia para evitar el cruel y posible destino que les espera. Sus hijos, Joseph (el autor de esta obra) y Maurice tienen, a sus diez y doce años, que sobrevivir solos en un universo desquiciado, en el que la barbarie, la amistad, la picaresca y, sobre todo, el miedo, imponen una sola ley: la supervivencia.

A Boy’s Struggle for Survival in a Nazi-occupied Paris.
Joffo, an honest Jewish hairdresser living in Nazi-occupied Paris, decided to send his family off to different places to escape from the cruel and possible destiny that could await them. His children, Joseph (the author) and Maurice, ten and twelve years-old, must learn to survive on their own in a deranged world in which barbarism, friendship, ingenuity and, above all, fear, will teach them the law of survival.
