The next day, Papa did not want Hannah to accompany him to the Jewish section of the city. “Gestapo stand outside Jewish shops intimidating shoppers from entering. They shout at people passing by, ‘Germans do not buy in Jewish shops. The Jews are our misfortune.’ Our position in Berlin grows worse by the day.” He spread jam on his roll, but did not take a bite. “We’re falling into a black hole.”

Hannah, dressed in a gathered blue-flowered skirt and white blouse with her hair rolled and pinned at the back of her head, answered, “Of course, I’m going with you. We have sick people to care for. You need my help.” Inwardly, she wished he would forget his patients, and think about his family, and their safety. But, he would not.

“Germans can do with us as they like, break our windows, force us to scrub sidewalks, and deny me the right to practice medicine. We’re outlaws. We’ve been expelled from Germany even though we are physically here. Stay home.”

“I fear the Germans, the Nazis, will never control their hatred of us. We must ignore them. Whenever you’re ready to make rounds, I’m ready too.” Hannah took a sip of the substitute coffee, folded her napkin, and went for his medical satchel.

“My dear Hannah, come back, sit down, at least eat some toast. You have a long day,” Mamma called.

Hannah glanced at her and continued for the satchel.

Until Kristallnacht occurred, Hannah held on to hope for the Jews. Now she had none. As she and her father left the security of their large home, she with two pieces of toast wrapped and stuffed in her pocket, she looked at the Schwartz’s house. A new, sleek black car with four doors and the emblem of the Nazis adorning the hood was parked in their driveway. Thank goodness for the space their yard provided between themselves and their neighbors. The Schwartz’s lawn was mowed, roses blossomed in the garden, trees were trimmed, and the house freshly washed, so different from the shabby appearance of her home. The only greenery was the garden her mother and Ethel attended and the occasional mowing Papa and she managed, always conscious someone might observe them.
