The Mist Before Our Eyes

An ordinary boy, a murderous regime. This is how it happened…

Berlin, 1933. 14-year-old Felix Stoltenberg is desperate to be friends with Klaus Beck to the point he defies his anti-Nazi parents and joins the Hitler Youth. As the years pass and Hitler's grip on the nation tightens, Felix and Klaus' boyhood pranks take a sinister turn.

But nothing prepares Felix and Klaus for the eruption of anti-Semitic violence. Felix can no longer stand aside and observe. He is forced to participate - whatever the price to his mother and father.

1942. Now, a young, idealistic man, still devoted to the Nazi cause, Felix's life and sense of identity fall apart when he falls in love with Stella, a Bohemian artist.

Stella is beautiful, she is talented, she is a woman of mystery and ideas … and she is Jewish.

Historical fiction with heart and drama.
