Men en nat går Moheb igennem spejlet, og på den anden side findes en parallel verden af folkeeventyr og magi. Det bringer Moheb ud på en rejse – både i de fantastiske eventyr og i den barske virkelighed, hvor mørke kræfter regerer. Moheb begiver sig af sted i en søgen efter sin far, der er et sted i Europa, og sin mor, der måske findes et sted i de folkeeventyr, hun har fortalt ham, mens hun levede.Efter punktum er en fortælling om at vokse op under de værste forhold, man kan tænke sig. Om krig og ødelæggelse, men også om håb, og om hvordan de historier, vi fortæller, både kan blive veje til at møde andre og finde os selv.

An NCTE Orbis Pictus recommended book and a Sydney Taylor Book Award Notable Title.Ruth David was growing up in a small village in Germany when Adolf Hitler rose to power in the 1930s. Under the Nazi Party, Jewish families like Ruth's experienced rising anti-Semitic restrictions and attacks. Just going to school became dangerous. By November 1938, anti-Semitism erupted into Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass, and unleashed a wave of violence and forced arrests.Days later, desperate volunteers sprang into action to organize the Kindertransport, a rescue effort to bring Jewish children to England. Young people like Ruth David had to say good-bye to their families, unsure if they'd ever be reunited. Miles from home, the Kindertransport refugees entered unrecognizable lives, where food, clothes -- and, for many of them, language and religion -- were startlingly new. Meanwhile, the onset of war and the Holocaust visited unimaginable horrors on loved ones left behind. Somehow, these rescued children had to learn to look forward, to hope.Through the moving and often heart-wrenching personal accounts of Kindertransport survivors, critically acclaimed and award-winning author Deborah Hopkinson paints the timely and devastating story of how the rise of Hitler and the Nazis tore apart the lives of so many families and what they were forced to give up in order to save these children.
