This historical novel, a melting pot of fact and ction, tells us a story of an abomination of one of the hardest hit European cities during World War II. The German aerial bombardment turned the Rotterdam city center into a barren wasteland. Rotterdam became a society with forced labor and resistance ghters, people in hiding, Jews, traitors and whores. And let us not forget: Nazis. The people try to survive the terror that was gradually becoming hellish barbarity with only one goal in mind: to experience the liberation of their city and country. This city of lost dreams is situated in the 1940's, but it re ects the tragedy of life in any occupied and war-torn city.
