While Maria ends up on a farm outside of Innsbruck, Nathan is sent to a work crew outside of Salzburg. They are loaded onto packed train cars headed to Austria. With Nathan’s fake ID, the pair naively sign up. They see ads posted seeking farm workers. When Trapped in Hitler’s Web begins in the fall of 1942, Maria and Nathan believe they cannot last much longer in the woods and are looking for an escape to safety. When they can no longer be of help, Maria and Nathan escape to the woods where they hide out amongst a group of resistance fighters working against both the Nazis and the Soviets. In that first book (whose focus is on Maria’s sister, Krystia), Maria and her family have assisted a Jewish family, including Maria’s friend Nathan, with whom they are friends. It is a sequel of sorts to Skrypuch’s Don’t Tell the Nazis (previous title Don’t Tell the Enemy>). Trapped in Hitler’s Web is the story of Maria, a Ukrainian girl caught in the horror of World War II.
