This powerful and moving story takes us to Germany in the early 1930’s. Nina and her two sisters grow up in a traditional, upper-middle-class, professional, Christian, German family, with Jewish friends and strong ties to England. But when the Nazis take power life-changing decisions have to be made.

Nina and friends develop an escape line for Jews, risking their lives in one daring event after another. Claudia is also involved, but her other sister Anna marries a Nazi officer…

When World War Two breaks out one by one members of the family are arrested or disappear. Towards the end of the war, Nina and Claudia are trapped in East Prussia as the Russian army closes their escape routes.

Ships have been leaving the Bay of Danzig, but can Nina and her refugees survive the gruelling weather and cross the frozen waters in time
to board The Last Boat from Danzig…?

Based on first hand, real life events revealed to the author, this book gives a fresh insight into the lives of the German people, themselves caught up in the Nazi oppression.
