To Cross A Line

Like many teenage boys, Egon Katz, 17, a Jewish baker's apprentice, is full of energy, big ideas, and love. But his home is Nazi Germany; it is one month after Kristallnacht; and life as he has known it is disintegrating. He comes to the attention of the authorities when he is involved in a scooter accident with a prominent businessman. Rather than report to Gestapo headquarters, Egon decides to flee the country.
