Gratz takes the reader right into the duality of Berlin during the 1936 Olympics — a city being purged of any ‘undesirable’ citizens to put on a good show for the world. Gratz does not shy away from the comparison between 1936 Germany and 2025 America. This is a timely book that every middle-grade reader, teacher, and parent should read.
