Following the Sunday lunch, and back at their house, Magda turned to Helmut when Anna was out of earshot. “Do you think Martin knows and he was helping cover up the truth? I mean, my father is quite capable of saying something, not realising the consequence for us. He blames the Jews for his bankruptcy. He would think that he was doing the patriotic thing, you know.”

Helmut, struck by what he considered the sincerest display of camaraderie from his wife in as long he could remember, paused to reflect on the likelihood. “It is possible that he knows. But I can’t imagine how. So far as I know, other than the three of us, no one knows about Ruth.”

Magda thought about it for a moment before replying. “What about her parents?”

“Surely you don’t think that Heinrich and Alana would have said anything?”

“No, that wouldn’t make a lot of sense. Did we ever find out what happened to them?”

Helmut merely shook his head.

“What about Helga, could she have mentioned something to my parents or Martin?” Magda asked, thinking back to her niece’s stay with them.

“I don’t see how, she went back to Munich with Uncle Wolfgang at the same time as Ruth came to stay. She never had a chance to talk to either your parents or Martin.”

They pondered the situation for a moment before Magda appeared to reach a decision. “The truth is that none of us are safe as long as she is here. I think we should talk to Martin, who we can safely assume is in the dark about all this. Persuade him to take Ruth to your aunt in Zurich. He will help once he knows the danger to Anna and me.”

Helmut was silent for a long time, then reached across, cupping her hand in his. “I think that of all the options, that’s the best one at the moment. Unless Herr Hitler is kaput the next time they make an attempt on his life.”

“Herr Professor, that’s not something you can count on.”
