Hamburg, summer 1939. As World War II draws closer, 16-year-old Henri and his friends try to escape their daily lives. They meet at the swimming pool or in the park, always with a gramophone in tow – and then they dance until they can’t anymore! The new jazz music captivates the "Swing kids" with its carefree joy. However, it is an eyesore for the Nazis. Soon, the police take notice of the nonconforming youth. One night, the trap closes in on Henri, and he finds himself in the darkness of a Gestapo cellar... The novel is based on reports about the Hamburg Swing youth from 1939 to 1941 and compellingly tells the story of growing up amidst World War II.
