Daniel's Story Setting

Daniel's Story Setting

Told chronologically in four parts, Daniel's Story begins in the family's home community of Frankfurt, Germany, in March 1933. In October 1941, Daniel and his immediate family—his mother, Ruth; father, Joseph; and younger sister, Erika—are among the many who are deported by rail to the Jewish ghetto in Lodz, Poland. They remain there until August 1944, when they are forcibly shipped in railway cars to a concentration camp, Auschwitz, where Daniel and his father are separated from Daniel's mother and sister. Their stay there only lasts until December 1944, when the father and son are force marched and then transported by train to a final camp, Buchenwald, where they stay until war's end.

Finally, Daniel, his father, and Peter (a new friend that Daniel made in Buchenwald) return to Lodz with the particular hope of finding Daniel's sister and Rosa, Daniel's girlfriend.
