Ziggy doesn’t know what to expect when he arrives at the Annemasse orphanage. It is 1942, and the Nazis have taken northern France. Annemasse is supposed to be a secret haven for Jewish children separated from their families, but Ziggy can’t help feeling that they are all just waiting for the worst. Anyone around them could easily be a Nazi spy. Elka has lived at Annemasse for three years, dreaming of when she will be reunited with her family in Dresden. Ziggy’s arrival brings the excitement of a new friendship. But even more intriguing is the mysterious, blond-haired new gym teacher, Georges Loinger. Is Georges a friend who can lead them to safety in nearby Switzerland? Or a spy luring them towards the Nazis? When any mistake could be deadly, Ziggy and Elka are never sure who to trust. Inspired by real events, Freedom's Game tells a courageous story of friendship, sacrifice, and the resilience of hope.
