ed my mother, “the Nazis have
rashioned everything for the
people so that they cannot
spare a crumb, and you want
a whole chaleh.”
There were a few minutes of
quiet during which father got
up and paced the room. He pat
ted me on the head, looked at
my two sisters for several mo
ments, and then came back to
the table.
“We’re going to have chaleh,
Rochele,” he said again blunt
ly-
“Foolish one, I just told you
how strict the Nazis are on
rations lately. It’s hard enough
for us to get even clean water
and scraps,” answered my
mother loudly.
Father didn’t say anything
for another few minutes. He
rubbed his chin, and then he
began to talk quietly.
“There’s a man on Adolph-
strasse whom very few know
about, and he . . .”
“The Black Market! Not the
Black Market, Sam. If they
find out you’re Jewish they’ll
inform,” interrupted my moth

“He’s Jewish, Rochele.”
“Sam, it’s a long way to
Adolphstrasse. There are many
Gestapo men on the street.
Please don’t do anything fool

“Rochele, don’t worry.”
“Sam, you have three chil

foolishly.”
“I don’t remember having
one Sabbath meal without
chaleh. This one will not be dif

strasse,” my father answered
with finality and with increas
ing irritation. Soon my mother
began to see that she could not
prevail. My father is a deeply
religious man. Nothing can
keep him from carrying forth
his traditional rites in the man
ner that he thinks they should
be observed.
Men are often quite stub
born, and this stubborness
causes them to act foolishly.
My mother saw that all her
arguments were to no avail,
and she stopped. My father
quietly began to prepare to go
to Adolphstrasse.
He put on clothes that were
neat, inconspicuous and that
would not impede him if he
had to run. He took his forged
papers and put them carefully
into one of his pockets. He sat
down, took off his boots, stuff
ed some money into each one,
and then put them back on.
“How soon will you be back,
Sam?”
“Soon.”
“How soon, Sam?”
“I don’t know. You know
how careful I have to be. I
