This is the story of a mother's efforts to save her son from the grip of the Nazi machine... Hans Litten, an exceptionally brilliant young scholar and advocate, who had defended many working men who had been falsely accused of murder, was on the list of persons to be arrested when the Reichstag was fired. From the time of his arrest until his death he was interned in a succession of concentration camps. He was tortured until he made a false statement, which he immediately repudiated as extorted under physical torment.
