It’s August 1944, and thirteen-year-old Jopie Von Der Au is helping her family resist the SS in Nazi-occupied Germany. Alongside her parents, older brother Jozef, and blind sister Anja, Jopie’s world changes when they are taken from their home in Gorlitz and sent on one of the notorious death trains to Auschwitz. Only Jopie, her mother, and Jozef survive, as Anja dies before deportation and Papa dies after arriving. In the horrors of Auschwitz, Jopie forms bonds with new friends, but most people she loves slowly die off. Her eyesight begins to fade as she fights to survive. Here, Birds Don't Dare Whistle is a story of the emotional toll of survival, the struggle to keep hope, the importance of family and friends, and the struggle of the oppressed. Jopie's story offers a unique perspective on the darkest event in human history.
