I've come on orders from Berlin to fetch the three children. -Gestapo agent, August 24, 1944 With those chilling words Christa von Hofacker and her younger siblings found themselves ensnared in a web of family punishment designed to please one man-Adolf Hitler. The furious dictator sought merciless revenge against not only Christa's father and the other Germans who had just tried to overthrow his government.

He wanted to torment their relatives, too, regardless of age or stature.

All of them. Including every last child. Praise for Ann Bausum's The March Against Fear "An exceptionally well-written and -researched chronicle of a crucial civil rights turning point." -Kirkus, starred review "This exemplary look into civil rights history concludes with perspective and encouragement regarding ongoing struggles for social change." -Publishers Weekly, starred review "A must-have volume." -School Library Journal, starred review
