2008-04-08 Detecting the future

This is a subtle and careful book that also is able to make some very good points. The boys in the story live in Nazi Germany before the war breaks out. They are just boys hanging together (in the same class....) and facing a thief that steals but belongs to another world and another class, but not a school class...

Read it with Treblinka and Leningrad and the battle for Berlin 15 years later on the same streets at the back of your mind. Where were Emile and his friends during those days...if they survived that long....see the Eidelwise Piraten resistence movement.
