Indigo

The year is 1940 in Warsaw, Poland. It is a bad time to be a Jew, as fourteen year old Leaven Balick soon learns. She lives in the Ghettos, where Nazis threaten death at every move and people disappear on a whim. With her only possessions being a diary and an indigo scarf, she feels alone and isolated until she meets Derek Rolf, a boy her age who is the son and nephew of Nazi officials. Derek, who is largely shielded from the Jews around him, feels suddenly attracted to this girl with the strange star on her arm. As the months wear on, Leaven and Derek form a forbidden love, until one day the unthinkable happens: Leaven and her family are selected to work at a concentration camp.
