War Heroes

by Ben Bouter

Peter grew up in a strict Protestant family in a Catholic village. Gradually, he discovered that his father played a dubious role during the war. Why did he send Nel, his neighbor, to a NSB colony in Czechoslovakia? As a gift for his final exams, Peter took Nel back to the Czech Republic. There they met David, who survived the concentration camps and the end of the war on the grounds of SS Heydrich. David appeared to be an old friend of Nel and his father. When Peter came home, he read a letter from father with dramatic consequences. War Heroes is a wonderful historically accurate novel about a boy who struggled with his origins - touching, compelling and familiar.
