This is the classic tale of a journey through war-torn Europe. Alone and fending for themselves in Poland devastated by World War Two, Jan and his three homeless friends cling to the silver sword as a symbol of hope. They encounter many hardships and dangers as they travel through Europe towards Switzerland, where they believe they will be reunited with their parents.
This extraordinarily moving account of an epic journey gives a remarkable insight into the reality of a Europe laid waste by war.
