The Goetzel family and Micki's nanny come back...

  • YES

  • The Goetzel family and Micki's nanny come back from Skolimow to their apartment in Mokotow. First they get searched by a policeman, than the porter wakes them up and asks every man in the building to help build a barricade. David and his brother work for several hours. David realises that they are no longer safe in Mokotow and that they must move immediately to a safer place. Late at night they walk from Mokotow to Sophie's brother's apartment.
