A Family Secret

While searching his grandmother's attic for likely items to sell at a yard sale, Jeroen finds a scrapbook his grandmother Helena made during World War II. It brings back painful memories for her, and she tells Jeroen for the first time about her experience as a girl living in Amsterdam during the German occupation of the Netherlands and about the loss of her Jewish best friend, Esther. But after hearing the story, Jeroen makes a surprising discovery. In this gripping, historically accurate graphic novel, ordinary people in different roles - from victim to bystander to collaborator to perpetrator - make the most important decisions of their lives.
