Description

November 1918. Germany is defeated. Fury, cast in resentment, stands beside every German. Chaos governs the streets.

Despite the confusion, Thomas and Lilli Schroeder settle in Munich with hopes for a peaceful and prosperous life for their young family.

On a visit to London, his birthplace, Thomas discovers a heritage that changes everything – he has direct matrilineal Jewish parentage – he is Jewish.

As Adolf Hitler emerges as a powerful force in German politics, the threat to Thomas’ family could not be more clear. After exhaustively researching both Hitler and the Nazi Party, Thomas sets himself on a dangerous path of resistance: he joins the Nazi Party.

Enlightened: Is it possible for one man to set in motion a chain of events that will prevent one of the greatest tragedies of the twentieth century?
