Description

Eleven-year-old Nico Crispi never told a lie. When the Nazi's invade his
home in Salonika, Greece, the trustworthy boy is discovered by a German
officer, who offers him a chance to save his family. All Nico has to do is
convince his fellow Jewish residents to board trains heading towards "the
east" where they are promised jobs and safety. Unaware that this is all a
cruel ruse, the innocent boy goes to the station platform every day and
reassures the passengers that the journey is safe. But when the final train
is at the station, Nico sees his family being loaded into a large boxcar
crowded with other neighbors. Only after it is too late does Nico discover
that he helped send the people he loved--and all the others--to their doom
at Auschwitz. Nico never tells the truth again.
