"Wir haben viele Bücher über jüdische Schicksale in der Nazizeit, dies ist eines der besten. Ein ganz grosser, in sich ruhender Roman. Unvergesslich." Berliner Morgenpost Jurek ist elf, als er mit seiner Mutter und dem jüngeren Bruder Kazik ins Warschauer Ghetto kommt. Es ist kein leichtes Leben, doch Jurek und Kazik sind noch arglos: Sie wissen, dass Krieg herrscht, und spielen ihn mit ihren Bleisoldaten nach. Was es in diesen Zeiten heisst, Jude zu sein, begreifen sie erst allmählich. Das Leben im Ghetto wird zunehmend schwerer, mit jedem Tag steigt die Gefahr, gefangengenommen und deportiert zu werden.

Dem Schicksal können sie dennoch nicht entgehen und kommen in das Konzentrationslager Bergen-Belsen - das beide aber am Ende überleben.
