Two teenagers, living worlds apart . . .

A Jewish girl, with her parents, hiding from the Nazis

in Amsterdam . . .

A Black boy, living outside Chicago . . .

The girl, studiously writing a diary, week after week, month after month.

which she kept secret, even from her parents . . .

The Black boy, wanting to visit distant relatives in Mississippi . . .

How the girl and her family were finally captured by the Nazis and how she died in a Nazi death camp at 15 . . .

How the Black boy from Chicago was lynched in Mississippi at 14 . . .

How the publication of the girl's diary, found after her death, and how the decision by the boy's mother, about his funeral, changed the world.
