What do you do when your best friend becomes the enemy? Growing up in
Newark, NJ, in the 1930s, Tommy Anspach and Benjy Puterman have always
done everything together. It never mattered that Benjy was Jewish and
Tommy was of German descent. But as Adolph Hitler and his Nazi party
comes to power in Germany and war brews in Europe, everything changes.
Tommy is sent to Camp Nordland, a Nazi youth camp for German
Americans, where he quickly learns that Jews are the enemy.
Heartbroken by the loss of his friend, Benjy forms a teen version of
the Newark Minutemen, an anti-Nazi vigilante group, all the while
hoping that Tommy will abandon his extremist beliefs. Will Benjy and
Tommy be able to overcome their differences and be friends again?
Based on real-life events and groups like the Newark Minutemen and the
pro-Nazi German American Bund, this daring novel-in-verse reveals the
long history of American right-wing extremism, and its impact on the
lives of two ordinary teens.
