It's 1939, and for Georg, son of an English academic living in Germany,
life is full of cream cakes and loving parents. It is also a time when
his teacher measures the pupils' heads to see which of them have the
most "Aryan-shaped" heads. But when a university graduation ceremony
turns into a pro-Nazi demonstration, Georg is smuggled out of Germany to
war-torn London and then across enemy seas to Australia where he must
forget his past and who he is in order to survive.
Hatred is contagious, but Georg finds that kindness can be, too.
The companion piece to Hitler's Daughter, Pennies for Hitler
examines the life of a child during World War II, from a different
perspective.
