Orphans of War

by Michael Reit

Set against the backdrop of Amsterdam in 1941, 'Orphans of War' delves into the turbulent lives of three individuals amidst the harrowing times of World War II. Christiaan takes the valiant path of joining the resistance to fight for the Dutch people's liberty. Floris, a seemingly ordinary bureaucrat, becomes complicit in the heinous acts of the Nazi occupation by facilitating Jewish deportations. The revelation of his deeds leads his wife Nora to the courageous act of defying him, as she embarks on a perilous mission to save children from the claws of war and certain death. This gripping narrative weaves a tale of conviction, betrayal, and the quest for redemption in a city held by the iron fist of the Third Reich. The moral complexities of survival and resistance come to the fore in this poignant tale, marking the first chapter of the compelling 'Dutch Resistance' trilogy.
