We finally came to a stop, standing next to the factory of the man who said he would help us when necessary, since all his workers were Jews. He somehow convinced the Nazis to let some of them work for him, instead of being sent off to concentration camps, that were rumored to be where they actually were killing them.

But right before we tried to enter, a Nazi came out of no where.

"What are you doing!" He barked with a strong German accent.

"It is past curfew!" He aimed the gun at us. "Are those Jews?"

"This is... My family." I said. "We're not Jewish."

"Prove it." he said.

We all showed our false identity cards, which were to be kept at all times.

"Then where are you going at this time of night?" He asked suspiciously.

Jacob jumped in and said,"Our friend is...dying...and we have to see him one more time before he passes on. Now."

The Nazi's voice softened, and he said,"Oh, ja. I am sorry. I'll let you go now." he said, backing off into the darkness. Strange.

I made sure he was gone before we enered the building. We were safe.
