Daniel's Story | Plot Summary

Daniel's Story Overview

Daniel's Story is the tale of the horrific odyssey of a Jewish family, an odyssey which begins in Frankfurt, Germany in 1933 and concludes in Lodz, Poland in 1945. The narrator, Daniel, both a German and a Jew, is but six years of age when his family's story begins, and he is a very weary eighteen when it concludes. Through Daniel's eyes, readers experience the rising antiSemitism in Germany, a growing hatred which culminates in the Nazis' establishment and gruesome use of the death camps.
