"Emil and Karl" by Jeffrey Shandler follows the story of two young boys, Emil and Karl, living in Nazi-occupied Europe during World War II. As their friendship deepens amid the horrors of war and the looming threat of persecution, they navigate the dangers surrounding them. Emil, who is Jewish, faces the terrifying reality of his identity, while Karl, a Christian, struggles with the moral dilemmas imposed by their society. The boys' bond is tested as they confront betrayal and courage, highlighting themes of friendship, loyalty, and the fight for survival in an unimaginable world.
