Milkweed

by Jerry Spinelli

Nazi Germany...  

A boy is found.  No mother.  No father.  No home.  No age.  No name.  No identity whatsoever.  The only thing he can remember anyone calling him is "Stop, thief!"  He has survived only by stealing bread from rich ladies who walk by.       
He's labeled a "Jew" and a "Gypsy".  He's thrown in a ghetto.  He's hated by the world.
And he wants to be a Nazi.
***
This is a story of the ghetto, and of a boy too young and innocent to understand it all.  VERY SAD.  A Must-Read for anyone interested in Nazi Germany.
