"On 21 July 1942 the Nazis invaded Poland.  In the small town of Zolkiew, life for Jewish 15-year-old Clara Kramer was never to be the same again.  While those around her were either slaughtered or transported, Clara and her family hid perilously in a hand-dug cellar.  Living above and protecting them were the Becks.
Mr Beck was a womaniser, a drunkard and a self-professed anti-semite, yet he risked his life throughout the war to keep his charges safe.  Nevertheless, life with Mr Beck was from predictable.  From the house catching fire, to Beck's affair with Clara's cousin, to the nightly SS drinking sessions in the room just above, Clara's War transports you into the dark, cramped bunker, and sits you next to the families as they hold their breath time and again."
