It's 1939, and for Georg, son of an English academic living in Germany,
life is full of cream cakes and loving parents. It is also a time when his
teacher measures the pupils' heads to see which of them have the most 'Aryan'-
shaped heads.
But when a university graduation ceremony turns into a pro-Nazi
demonstration, Georg is smuggled out of Germany to war-torn London and then
across enemy seas to Australia where he must forget his past and who he is in
order to survive.
Hatred is contagious, but Georg finds that kindness can be, too. The
companion piece to Hitler's Daughter, Pennies for
Hitler examines the life of a child during World War II, from a different
perspective.
