Soul to the Rhine

Chapter 39
Jews are prohibited from living on Main Street, so Rosia has been sneaking around since she came out, for fear of being caught by the police.

After hiding all the way, Rosia barely breathed a sigh of relief until she entered a safe zone.Then he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although he had always known that Jewish life was difficult, he never expected such a situation.But after just pretending for a while, Rosia was bumped into the road by several Poles with malicious intentions. She was walking timidly and was beaten with mud by children on the roadside.It's just like a street rat.

Anyway, when we arrived at the Western Bureau, Rosia was already covered in mud, and she realized that there was no need to dress up in any special way. As long as she stood in a place with many Poles, she would immediately become embarrassed.

It is no longer the peak period for applying for a blue card, and there are not many people in front of the West Bureau. There are a few tables at the door, and a few Germans are registering. Next to them are policemen wearing long coats patrolling, but they are not secret police, but It's the Polish police.

These Polish police are actually more terrifying than the secret police. For Jews, if you meet the secret police, you will suffer national spiritual humiliation and even risk your life, but they will give you a good time.When I met the Polish police, what I experienced was the mental humiliation and physical torture imposed on individuals. They were oppressed by the Germans, but they used the Jews as a tool to vent their anger.

Rosia lowered her head and lined up quietly at the end of the queue. In front of her was a gentleman who had just been beaten up by a policeman for no apparent reason. At such a sensitive moment, she did not dare to touch him and really wanted to turn around and run away.

There were several Jewish ladies in the queue next to them who had been discussing where to find food for lunch. Rosia tried to get closer, but found that she couldn't blend in with them at all, and she couldn't find anyone who could entrust her to bring the blue card into the quarantine area for Lisa. people.After thinking about it for a while, I gave up. The first priority was to apply for the things first.

The team moved forward a little bit, and Rosia quickly followed her. Just as she took a step, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side and grabbed her arm.Surprised, Rosia looked up, his face turned pale, it was the Polish policeman just now.

"You, I suspect that you have a disease and are not eligible to apply for a blue card." The policeman frowned and stared at her fiercely, as if she was a heinous sinner who would infect everyone with the disease. The Jewish woman was startled and showed fear and sympathy in her eyes.

This is truly a disaster!Rosia was surprised by the look in the policeman's eyes.As a doctor, would she not know if she had a disease? Moreover, there were so many skinny Jews around her who were fine. She had a rosy face and a good complexion, so she would be suspected of having a disease.

Speaking of Rosia's young age, she has not worked in Modern Times for as long as she has worked here, and has not been exposed to the sophistication that must be understood in this society. Naturally, she cannot judge the purpose of the policeman who came to her.

Regarding this sudden situation, she just carefully explained: "Sir, you can take a closer look. I am not feeling unwell and there should be no disease."

Rosia's tone was timid and cautious enough, but she didn't expect that the policeman suddenly became furious. He grabbed her arm and dragged her out of the team. After taking two steps, he gave her a hard swing. The force was so strong that she fell directly to the ground. on the ground.There were all the Jews watching silently, with unbearable expressions in their eyes, but no one dared to show off to save others.

The policeman had already taken out his pistol from his coat, pointed it at Rosia's head, and said angrily: "I said you were sick and you still dare to talk back. Are you doubting my judgment?"

Rosia was half lying on the ground, feeling that the place where she was thrown was burning, and her face was also burning.The silent gazes of the people around her made her feel like she was on fire. In addition to fear, she also felt embarrassment, so much so that the intensity of the latter overshadowed the former.

Rosia is actually a very face-conscious person, most afraid of being embarrassed, let alone being embarrassed in front of countless people.She had met the police countless times, and all kinds of police, including the Gestapo, had never had such strong emotions. She was accused inexplicably, questioned inexplicably, and the anger and embarrassment was like a fire burning on her head, making her want to scream. If you go all out and fight hard, you will probably die. After 18 years, my sister is a good man again.

But after thinking about it, for a science student, reason will always prevail.

Rosia's hands hidden under her coat clenched tightly into fists, telling herself over and over again to be calm and calm.Then her fear finally began to return, and she suppressed the impulse with difficulty, and continued to defend in the same timid voice as before: "Sir, I didn't mean to offend."

The policeman looked at her for a long time, then suddenly cursed in a low voice in Polish: "Bitch, bad luck."Then he kicked Rosia angrily, turned around and left.I no longer worry about whether she is really sick.

The policeman wore heavy leather boots, and his kicks were very powerful. Rosia couldn't help but groan, and then tears of pain fell down.

It's not cowardly, it just hurts too much!
Rosia cursed this lunatic policeman eight hundred times in her heart, and silently limped back to the team.

The Jews who had been following her gave up their seats and let her jump in.

Rosia lowered her head and wiped her tears silently. The Jewish woman in the queue next to her finally couldn't bear to take a step closer and asked her in a low voice: "My child, do you not have any money on you?"

Rosia raised half of her face, sobbed, and shook her head.

She came prepared. Not only did she bring money, she also brought marks, many marks.

The Jewish woman was a little surprised: "Then why didn't you give him some and got beaten?"

Rosia was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and asked in disbelief: "He, he wants..." Money?

Only then did she realize the whole story, but she just wanted to curse.What a bastard of power, you openly asked a Jew for money in front of the police?There is no humanity left.

Rosia did bring a lot of money with her, and she was planning to pay bribes because she was not able to get the blue card.But her target was the German who issued her a blue card, not the Polish policeman who had become a subjugated slave but wanted to collect debts from others.

She never thought about this, or she never thought that some people's humanity had been reduced to such an extent that they were even worse than the Gestapo.She simply thought that the policeman really suspected that she was sick.

Rosia finally understood why the gentleman in front was beaten inexplicably.

But the answer made her feel even sadder.

There is something twisted in human nature that can make the most unspeakable evils become trivial matters in an instant.

The line was getting shorter little by little, and Rosia's attention was also returning to the business, but her heart gradually became uneasy. She was very confident in her attire, but now she couldn't help but doubt it, and even began to think, if she was found out, what would happen to her? Whether to run away immediately, or to stuff money without showing a trace.

The old gentleman in front turned out to be a professor, but not from the University of Warsaw. He was given a useless evaluation and then driven away.

Rosia's heart was already in her throat.

"I used to be a waiter." She put her work certificate on it with slightly shaking hands.

The German frowned and looked at her paper, confirming that the information on it was completely true. Without any further embarrassment, he took out a new bookfold the size of a palm and wrote Lisa's name and occupation on it. , and then stamped a small blue flying eagle seal on it.

Got the blue card!
It turned out to be so smooth!
Rosia was so excited that she even forgot about the pain in her legs. The first thing she did after getting this little thing was to turn around and leave, hiding in the crowded crowd, and ran away as fast as possible.

However, there was no order in the queue when leaving, and Rosia accidentally bumped into someone.The other party's cold silver button hurt her face, and Rosia quickly apologized.

An equally cold and mocking voice sounded above his head.

"Who is this I see? Miss Rosia."
