Kanes relates his own story and that of his parents, Soli and Caroline Kanes, who married in 1941 and lived in Amsterdam. After the German occupation his parents worked for the Dutch resistance, but in August 1942 Soli was arrested and sent to Westerbork. In April 1943 Caroline and three-month-old Levie were sent there as well; however, the baby was taken from the train by members of the resistance. With the help of Father Theo Verhoeven of Veghel, who also saved many other Jews, he was brought to that town. He was raised by Bertie and Susanne Fox, who owned the local inn and were active in the resistance. In September 1943 Levie's parents were sent to Auschwitz, where Soli was killed and Caroline was subjected to Mengele's medical experiments. In January 1945 she was sent on a death march to Austria, during which she collapsed and was saved by an Austrian couple. After the liberation she returned to the Netherlands, where she faced a court hearing in order to be reunited with her son; in 1952 they emigrated to Canada.
