Synopsis
Adam, Rachel, and Marek have been friends since childhood, though as the story opens their relationships are tense and complicated. Adam, the son of an Orthodox rabbi, is a leader in the resistance movement. Because of an ill-conceived terrorist action, he is being hunted by the Nazis. Rachel, a beautiful Jewish singer, makes her living entertaining at a nightclub frequented by wealthy Jews and German officers.
Marek, a Catholic, became a priest out of a longing to atone for his past, and now runs an orphanage in the ghetto. As the story unfolds, Marek enlists the reluctant help of Adam and Rachel in this work. The orphanage becomes a staging facility for placing Jewish children in Polish homes. Religious differences begin to erode the friendship between Adam and Father Marek due to the rescued Jewish children being raised as Catholics by Polish families. Yet Adam and Rachel grow close to the traumatized children, and Adam in particular commits himself to helping them feel secure.
After the bombing deaths of several Nazi officers, Adam and Rachel become priority targets. To continue their work on behalf of the children, they must escape the ghetto. Just as they prepare their escape, however, it is commanded that the children of the orphanage will board trains for Treblinka. Adam must decide whether to run with Rachel or take the final walk with the children to the trains.
