Soul to the Rhine

Chapter 4 Leave
Rosia bought enough food in several German-owned stores, and her German appearance made the whole process go smoothly.

She discovered that not all Germans were anti-Semitic, and that many people even had no idea what had happened last night.She suddenly understood that these Germans running small businesses did not have such deep national hatred. Everything about Kristallnacht was caused by the German youths wandering outside.

Young people are always full of enthusiasm and do not have much brains.Just like when I was studying history in high school, I opened the textbook and saw students from somewhere protesting in the streets.class demonstration.No matter how big the matter is, as long as it is instigated by a thoughtful person, they will gather together for the sake of justice for their family and country.

The group of German young people outside were probably also used by Hitler, full of justice and hatred.Nowadays, the streets are full of broadcasts of Hitler's passionate speeches. Many young people are so excited that they go crazy with excitement and join the SS regardless.

When she heard Hitler say that the biggest enemy of the Aryans was the Jews, Rosia became upset and ran into the Jewish ghetto under the gaze of several gloomy-eyed Germans.

Although the problems of life were temporarily solved, with the increasing national hatred, the Jews could no longer survive in Berlin.The Polish government changed its previous attitude and agreed to take in Jews, so many Jewish families were ready to go to Poland at any time.

Although Joseph has not been found yet, Mrs. Cornman no longer trusts Lisa to stay here anymore, so she packed Lisa's things early and sent her to the border.

As for Rosia, Mrs. Cornman also persuaded her to go together: "My child, you and Lisa go to Poland together. I listened to you and transferred all the property there. We will still live together in Poland."

Yes, it would be great to live together, but the place you live in is too scary!Rosia didn't know how much living space she would have in Berlin, but in Poland, she felt her life would be shorter.

"Madam, maybe you don't need to go to Poland. It's so close to Germany. Maybe there will be a war..."

"No, there will be no war. Germany is still under the pressure of the Treaty of Versailles, and the world is watching."

Rosia was speechless for a while. The Treaty of Versailles was nothing. Just because the whole world thought so and thought that Germany would never provoke another war, Poland was defeated by Germany so quickly.

"Well, ma'am, I don't think I can go because, just that night, I lost my exit paperwork, er, and my identity card."

"What, you lost these?" Mrs. Cornman exclaimed.

Lisa remembered Kristallnacht when she went up to stop the Germans and was scratched by the glass, her eyes widened: "Sia, you mean the notebook they took away?"

Rosia smiled bitterly and nodded.

Mrs. Cornman had to give up the idea of ​​letting her go to Poland. It happened that she wanted to stay and continue to inquire about Joseph. She could also take care of Rosia for a while. The two of them were better together than alone. Moral support.

Although Lisa was not willing to leave alone with a strange Jewish young man, she also understood that being here would only bring trouble to her mother.

So one afternoon, the two of them set off with a little salute from Lisa.

Because there were many Jewish children leaving, the car was not in the center of Berlin. Rosia was worried that she would find a car alone, so she went with her.

The Germans she met on the road all responded maliciously to the obviously Jewish-looking Lisa, and their sinister sneers made her hold onto Rosia's arm and tremble all the way.

Rosia couldn't help it, and she was also very scared, but she still tried her best to get in front of Lisa.Although the Treaty of Versailles has become useless to Germany, the war has not yet begun, and no matter how bad the Germans are, they will not do things like killing little girls in the street.As for how she would be implicated when the war started, she didn't have time to think too much about it.

Trembling all the way to the place where there was a car, there were already more than a dozen Jews there, the older one was sixteen or seventeen years old, and the younger one was only a few years old. When they saw the two of them coming, they all stared at Rosia.

To be honest, Rosia has lived in Berlin for almost a year, and she has never received any hostility from the Jews. At this time, she was watched gloomyly by more than a dozen Jewish teenagers, and she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

At this time, another Jewish uncle with a beard got out of the car. He was very tall. He looked at Lisa, nodded, and then squinted at Rosia.

Lisa quickly said: "She is here to see me off. Xia is a good person and has been living with us. She is De..."

"Chinese!" Rosia interrupted Lisa, looked at the Jewish uncle who was smoking a cigarette in his hand, and solemnly repeated with a sense of inexplicable persistence: "I am Chinese."

The few Jewish teenagers who didn't understand the world were relieved, but the Jewish uncle looked at her carefully for a while, and then suddenly smiled: "Get in the car."

"We always have high respect for those who insist on their own nation." The Jewish uncle handed over a cigarette: "My name is Jimer, the driver of this car. Would you like a cigarette, little girl?"

Rosia looked at the thick stick in his hand, was silent for a while, and said stiffly: "Thank you, I don't need it."

"Haha!" Kimmel was not annoyed at being rejected, and even continued to joke: "My friends in the UK told me that Chinese people, both men and women, love to smoke cigarettes. I thought you would like my cigars."

"..."

I like your sister!
