LIFE'S TERROR, LIFE'S REDEMPTION. In a peaceful English village, three children and their grandmother are celebrating an old-fashioned christmas, but their warm circle is haunted by the barbaric chaos and brutality loose in the world. As images of terrorist atrocity flash on the TV, the children are forced to remember the death of their mother, shot down by terrorists in the Rome airport. And Lilli is forced to remember, and finally share, her past. What Lilli reveals to her grandchildren is as horrible, and unreal, as the Hansel and Gretel fairytale of children thrown into a witch's oven. She tells them of the Holocaust, which took her family, her faith, her art. Once Germany's most famous illustrator of children's books, Lilli has not painted since the war. Now, as she leads the children through the terrors of love and loss, Lilli is reborn, inspired by the hope of a new generation. And together they are able to step from the darkness into light.
