Based on true events, this uplifting musical about family, courage, hope, and never forgetting our past tells the story of an aging Holocaust Survivor who speaks to a young American woman about his harrowing escape from Denmark to Sweden as a boy during World War II. With help from a magical entity, he recounts the day that the Nazis decided to round up the Danish Jews for concentration camp assignment in the fall of 1943, and how his family raced to elude capture by hiding in a fishing boat traveling to Sweden – and freedom – across The Sound.
