Throughout the book, Wehner's curiosity and intelligence shine through, as he questions the actions of those around him and seeks to understand the motivations behind them. His story is both fascinating and heartbreaking, as he grapples with the loss of friends and loved ones to the war and the atrocities committed by the Nazi regime.
