It's the summer of 1944, and Peter and his family have been on what feels - to a young boy, at least - like an unforgettable adventure. Getting to sleep in a tent, then under the sky, exploring a disused factory, catching butterflies in the meadows - there is a lot to find exciting as this journey progresses. But as bombs fall from the blue sky outside Vienna, Peter realizes this adventure must surely be a nightmare. Along with his parents, he arrives at the Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp and the horrors they have tried so hard to shield Peter from are now impossible to avoid. But, even in the face of terrible losses and unspeakable hardship, Peter and his mother do not give up. They must never stop trying to get home. An extraordinary true story from a real-life survivor of Bergen-Belsen.
