For these three strangers are an allied pilot, a German soldier and a young Jewish woman wearing what appear to be striped linen pyjamas. A story of conflict and resolution, hatred and alliance, duty and responsibility, Shelter explores the morality of choice and the search for common ground in a climate of hatred and fear. . . | |||||
