After two months of irregular but always promised and fulfilled visits, she began to teach him English. She’d done so for the children in her synagogue while on Earth. Without books or a blackboard, she could only offer conversational English, but she was determined, and he couldn’t stand to disappoint his only companion, so they muddled through.

He came to look forward to her visits. Sometimes she left him to explore Hell. This worried him more and more as the months wore on. What might happen to her out there? For the first time, he began to hope Rolf had succeeded in destroying the other Nazis. What would happen if she ran into them? He didn’t like to think about it. Sometimes he broached the subject with her. At one point he even suggested he come with her as her bodyguard. In response, she smiled and promised that she would be fine. Because she was non-violent, she explained to him, others were rarely violent with her. This statement hung between them for several minutes. To Heinrich, the manner of her death should have taught her how wrong she was. Still, he couldn’t bring himself to say that to her. Countering her beliefs might make her dislike him. That might make her stop visiting. And that was something Heinrich couldn’t face. Sometimes she left him to return to the Gate. Most of her family was up there. Heinrich resigned himself to these absences because at least up there she was safe.
