- Summary:
- Stella Goldschlag, a young German Jew, grows up in Berlin during the rule of the Nazi regime. Despite all the repressive measures of the time, she still dreams of a career as a jazz singer. After she is forced to go into hiding with her parents in February 1943, her life begins to turn into a culpable tragedy wherein she is inevitably caught by the Gestapo. Tortured and threatened with death, Stella makes the crushing decision to save herself and her parents from deportation to Auschwitz by becoming a "grabber," systematically betraying other Jews by turning them over to authorities.
