I agree with some of the other comments that the main character, Felix, comes across as extremely naive. But I actually liked it. How many adults were just as naive... or just as determined to convince themselves that the Nazis were not evil and must have reason behind their actions. Unfortunately, theNazis did not have reason, only hate behind their insane purge, and it is darkly enchanting to watch as the blindfold is slowly stripped from Felix's eyes.

I've always been fascinated by Holocaust stories, and this one is no exception. Felix is a charming character.

Some disturbing scenes.
