Amira’s mother quickly pulled the floorboard out, placed her daughter in the hole, shut it, then heard a loud bang. They kicked in the door.
“I knew we’d find a Jew here. Where are the others?”
Anita held her head high. “There are no others. Only me.”
“Take her.”
Amira’s body trembled as she listened to the footsteps and voices above.
“No, I won’t let you take me,” Anita struggled to break free and was shot. She dropped to the floor and whispered her daughter’s name.
Amira held back tears as the Nazi’s laughs and footsteps faded from her ears.
