Mr. and
Mrs. Johansen, Annemarie, and Ellen try to strategize. After the soldiers'
visit, they're all in danger, and they know it.Ellen apologizes for her hair
color . and Mrs. Johansen mention Lise. Ellen and Annemarie can't go to
school it's not safe. Instead,
Mrs. Johansen will "take the girls to Henrik's" . Although it seems
riskier for Mr. Johansen to stay behind, they finally agree that it's actually
a better way to keep them all protected. While Mrs. Johansen gets their
stuff ready, Annemarie explains to Ellen that Henrik is her uncle on her
mother's side. . They have to be careful, even on the phone.So Ellen,
Annemarie, Kirsti, and Mrs. Johansen take the train over to Henrik's. On the
way, the girls enjoy looking at the scenerya nice break from all the scary
stuff that's been going on.But sure enough, they're interrupted by a pair of
soldiers who stop to ask the four travelers what they're doing. Mrs.
Johansen says they are taking a trip to see her brother. The soldier asks if
they are traveling because of the New Year, and Mrs. Johansen acts like she
doesn't know what he's talking about.Yep, he's testing to see if they're
Jewish.Kirsti speaks up, which freaks everyone out. Annemarie and her mother
are worried Kirsti will spill the beans about what's really going on. But
Kirsti just wants to talk about her shoes, and the soldiers seem charmed by
her. Once again: .Finally the ride is over, and they get off the train. They
decide to walk through the forest to Henrik's house. Along the way, they
talk about all sorts of things, from castles to Mrs. Johansen's childhood dog
that used to meet her after school. They eventually get close to Henrik's and
Annemarie is allowed to go on beyond the others.
