It's 1942. Thirteen-year-old Korinna Rehme is an active member of
her local Jungmadel, a Nazi youth group, along with many of her
friends. She believes that Hitler is helping Germany by instituting
a program to deal with what he calls the "Jewish problem," a
program that she witnesses as her Jewish neighbors are attacked and
taken from their homes. Korinna's parents, however, are members of
a secret underground group providing a means of escape to the Jews
of their city. Korinna is shocked to discover that they are hiding
a refugee family behind the wall of her bedroom. But as she comes
to know the family, her sympathies begin to turn. When someone tips
off the Gestapo, loyalties are put to the test and Korinna must
decide what she really believes and whom she really trusts. Filled
with adventure, "Behind the Bedroom Wall helps readers understand
the forces that drove so many to turn on their neighbors and the
courage that allowed some to resist.
