A tale of everyday heroism and the extraordinary power of illusion. Set in an unnamed German-occupied ghetto, the story centres on Jakob Heym, who overhears that the Russians are advancing on a city 300 miles away. His lie about a clandestine radio - which had given people some scrap of hope - has seemingly endless ramifications
