since policeman arrested him with other Jewish men and took them all away. Max and Zena
throw themselves into his arms. Hannah smiles as they hug.
Hannah: Be careful now, you three.
Martin: We don¡¯t want to have to fish you out of the water after you¡¯ve just reunited!
Hannah: Let¡¯s head back to the hideout.
Narrator: Hannah leads them all over the sunken bridge.
Papa: I can¡¯t believe my eyes. Look at you. How you¡¯ve both grown in just a month. How did
you children manage?
Zena: Max took care of me.
Max: We took care of each other.
Lev: Your children are resourceful, fast-thinkers. You should be proud.
Papa: I am. I am indeed.
Max: What happened that night, Papa? Where did you go?
Zena: We didn¡¯t know if you were alive or dead. We heard gunshots.
Max: And rumors about trains bound for prison camps.
Papa: I was put on a train with many others, headed to a place from which no one comes
back. I got lucky¡ªI escaped. But when I made my way back home to Esties, no one was
there. Not even the Nazis.
Max: No one? But when we left, there were still people in the ghetto.
Papa: They were all put on those trains. I¡¯m sorry, children. You must know, I looked
everywhere for you. Everywhere.
Zena: We know, Papa.
Papa: Then someone told me about an old farmer named Jablonski who rescued two kids
from a field and hid them in his barn. I was sure it had to be you.
Narrator: Papa¡¯s eyes well up with tears. He takes his children¡¯s¡¯ hands and gives them a
squeeze.
Papa: I knew I¡¯d find you.
Max: You always do, Papa.
Papa: Now let¡¯s make that dream of yours come true, Max¡ªlet¡¯s find a way to go to America.
We will start anew and leave this all behind.
Zena: Can we play hide-and-seek in America, Papa?
Papa: Of course we can. We¡¯ll be free to do as we please. We¡¯ll be...free.
Narrator: Papa laughs his warm laugh, and for the first time in a long time, Max feels hope. ¡ö
