They have just been imprisoned in Terezin (Terezinstadt), a ghetto in a medieval town near Prague - which was built to show the world how \"well\" the Nazis were treating Jews during the Second World War. Here Clara encounters hunger, disease and filthy living conditions. Even worse is the constant threat of being deported to concentration camps where the possibility of death awaits her.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the midst of the horror of these conditions, Clara still makes strong friendships and attends classes. Life in the ghetto takes an unusual turn for the young people when a children's opera, Brundibar, written by an inmate, allows them moments of joy and laughter. With a real escape being planned by Jacob, a family tragedy to confront, and an inspection tour by the Red Cross at hand, Clara has some life-challenging decisions to make. Inspired by real events.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Second Story Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47813624987799,"sku":"9781896764429","price":923.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781896764429.webp?v=1778337257","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/claras-war-9781896764429","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
