 The German Lullaby is about two women Anna and Molly who live in present day New York. Molly (who has a Jewish background) finds out that Anna s family (who are of German descent) gave up a little Jewish girl, Hannah, in the Second World War to save their family. The German Lullaby reflects how hard it was for Germans in the 1940 s as well as the Jews. Most people had no choice and did what they had to do to survive in those days.
