 A young girl wonders about the bracelet her grandmother always wears.  She asks what the charms mean and her grandmother tells her of her childhood in Italy.  The family had a good life in Rome.  But things changed when the Nazis came to their city.  Because they were Jews, their father was forced to leave the family.  As things got harder for Jews, the family went into hiding.  This story is based on the real life story of the author's grandmother.
