The Night War tells the heroic story of Miriam Schrieber, or Miri, a 12-year-old Jewish girl with commendable courage in the face of dangerous circumstances in France during World War 2. She makes the best of their confines of living in war times with food shortages and rules with her loving family and neighbors, including Nora Rosenbaum, the two-year-old neighbor girl, who is like a sister. All of that changes as she and Nora escape the roundup of Jews. They are transported and separated to temporary safety.
