Chapter Forty-Four

“No, they didn’t get sick. They must’ve gotten killed. In Germany. By the Nazis. Didn’t you ever hear of Nazis?”

“Yeah. A little. It was in World War Two, right? When we were born. Tony was in the army. But it was the end of the war, and he didn’t have to fight or anything. What do the Nazis have to do with your father? And his wife?”

“My father lived in Germany. The Nazis lived in Germany. And they killed the Jews that lived there. Millions of Jews.”

“Millions? How come?”

“How come? Because they were Jewish. And because the Nazis were really bad people. I mean—”

“Is that what happened in Germany? Millions of Jews got killed?”

“Yeah. Didn’t you know that?”

“Yeah. No. Not exactly. Oh, man. What a bastard.”

“What? Who?”

“Yeah. I didn’t know what he meant. But now I do. I told you Tony was a no-good bastard.
