Chapter X. The word of hope

Throw him under her feet,

-Is this servant suitable?

– With diabolical malice, she replied: Yes, thank you, dear.

-They were about to burn him.

– She got closer to him, with arrogance and pride: You have to preserve this favor, if it was not for my desire for a Jewish servant, you would be ashes now.

For months after that, she humiliated him a lot, followed her around, taking care of all her needs. She took him with her every time she went to the officer in the camp, forcing him to watch his people burned and killed in the most brutal way. A demon in the body of a female, a maniac, a traitor to her country, a Nazi more than the Nazis themselves.

He saw the officer Helmut many times and knew him, but the officer did not; How he could remember one boy among the hundreds of boys he burns daily.

He finished cleaning the toilets and went back to the officer’s requests, and hers. At the corner of the entrance to the officers’ building, Helmut stood with the girl, talking. He eavesdropped not far from them and stood a few steps behind her.

-Helmut: Schongau, you should visit it, I can’t wait to come back.

– She put a cigarette in the tip of her mouth, barely touching her lips, raised her head, inhaled its smoke, and puffed it out: What is my chance to visit it?

-Helmut: Not before the war is over, my dear. Hey, what are you doing there, boy?

-Bumbled, sir, waiting for any orders from my lady Girl.

– Let him be, it is my servant.

– Helmut: Is he a Jew?

-The girl: Yes,

-Helmut: He must be burned.

-She took a breath proudly and looked at the boy, puffed out her cigarette: Not today, maybe another time.

That night sleeping in her barn, how he thought of running away, a boy of his age, lacking in courage, heard the sound of a quarrel, coming from the bedroom, a man and a woman, approached the window and peeked, what is going on!!

The drunk officer wanted to sleep with her, but she refused to obey him: not now, I’m tired, let me.

He forced her, grabbed her, and laid her on the table, her body relaxed, and soon she gave in, she began to groan and his body shook on top of her, and pounce on her with all his might, drunk in the height of his lust. And soon the table collapsed.

She fell to the ground and fell on top of her, he completed his action, not paying attention to her sudden silence! A speck of blood grew ever larger under her head as it slammed hard against the marble floor! Her skull was smashed instantly!

The officer saw the blood, it did not look like he saw anything! His speed increased, his face turned red, the veins of his neck and face were hardened, he kissed her lips, pulled her hair, in the height of ecstasy, almost finished, a shiver of pleasure sweeps through his body, grabbing her breasts, screaming at her! Did you die? Shit, this is no time to die, bitch.

The boy could not believe what he saw! His heart was almost coming out of his ribs, his body was trembling, a shiver of fear gripped him, and his lips were trembling! Unleash his legs, leaped off the wooden fence, adrift, a path away from her house, and away from the camp. He ran all night, until he was weary, slept among a little thicket of trees by the side of the road, and in the morning, he made his way through the woods, lost, not knowing where to go, Seeing his father in the bushes,” Hope, my son, hope. Hope soon had another word on him.”

He went on like this for three days, without food, drinking the waters of the streams, until he lost consciousness near a small dirt road. He awoke after a while to find himself in a horse-drawn cattle cart.

-A man looked at him in the front: Are you a Jew?

The child is silent and trembling in fear, without uttering a word

-Man: Damn, Jew, this is what I was missing.

Turn to him again, do not be afraid, hide well among the bags, I will take you to safety.

In different regions of occupied Europe from the Nazi army, a number of Jews survived, thanks to the courage of their people, who did not accept handing them to the Nazis. Although the penalty for protecting the Jews is death, many of them refused to surrender their neighbors or direct the Nazis into them. Some of them managed to hide until the end of the war, and some of them managed to escape.

As for the boy, his luck on that day was better. The farmer took him to his farm, lived with him, worked with him, and treated him as if he was his son who was deprived of him by Hitler. He was the age of the boy when he died in the Nazi bombing of the city, just a few months ago, he gave him his son’s ID.

The war years passed, Germany was defeated, the genocidal camp was liberated by the Soviet army in January 1945, and two years later it was turned into a museum, bearing witness to one of mankind’s most horrendous crimes, at least those traceable in history’s memory.

He also testified to man’s ability to adapt and survive in the harshest conditions. His testimony was supported by a few Jewish survivors who managed to endure torture and enslavement throughout this time. Only one certificate was left waiting.

The boy became a young man, he was strong, his arm was strong, he kept reminding himself of the vow every night,

You will get to know the answer. I will make sure of this,

Schongau, Schongau, Schongau, Schongau….
