The Shoemaker is a prisoner at the Totenhausen Camp in Germany.

He is fifty-five years old, keeps to himself as much as possible and fears every time there is an unscheduled roll call. The Shoemaker's real name is Avram Stern. He had lived only twenty miles from the camp in the town of Rostock, and he is Jonas Stern's father.
