The Davids have to move again. Mark decided that they will move into the builder's block, not the policemen block.
They pack their things. Once everything is ready, Mark wants to lift the suitcases, but he can't - he hasn't got the strength. He burries his head in his hands -' I wonder how much longer my nerves will last. I hope I can go on for a little longer because once I lie down I'll not be able to get up again'.

At the age of nine Janina David was leading a sheltered life with her prosperous Jewish family in Poland. One year later they were all facing starvation in the Warsaw ghetto.
In the memoirs of wartime childhood Janina David describes the family\'s struggle against insurmountable odds. When it becomes clear that none of them was likely to survive, the thirteen-year old girl was smuggled out of the ghetto to live with family friends - a Polish woman and her German - born husband. When their home becomes too dangerous, she was sent with false identity papers to a Catholic convent, where she lived in constant fear of being discovered.
