Living as a refugee in Paris would be difficult except that there are many others like you. You band together and help each other. That makes survival possible. Still living in the sewers and digging through garbage cans for food is degrading. You wonder whether you made the right choice. It's idle speculation, however, because you can't go back and start over again.
Paris is a gloomy city during the summer of 1942. On July 14, there is no celebration of Bastille Day; in fact, the Germans put on a parade of their own to demonstrate their power and superiority to the French people. Two days later, squads of German SS are sent through the city. Rumors reach you that they are rounding up all the Jews they can find and taking them to a central prison. You desperately think of a way to hide. The sewers may be the safest place for you. Perhaps you can outwit the Germans. On the other hand, the sewers can also be a trap. Perhaps it would be safer to hide in an unlikely place like a Catholic cemetery.
