Hessisch Lichtenau, Germany - August 1944
Oooh.... so she and her aunt and mother all snuck onto the laborer's train. It's interesting how learned helplessness seeps into every aspect of their lives and thinking. This group of people, once living in houses such as those they saw, are now awestruck by the sheer thought of even residing in a house, sleeping on a bed, and having privacy.
Judit has to have the worst luck of any person I have ever read about. Death would have been an easy(-ier) escape than what she is faced with now. How could she even continue walking, knowing what lay ahead of her? Maybe if she had collapsed on the ground he would have spared her in some way... I don't know, I just know that this probably won't end well.

- well, surely there must have been a small increase in living quality. tiny. but an increase. i mean, the barraks had been use by germans. so they might be a little broken down. but they werent built just for the jews.
