By yourself, you will not survive. Therefore, you appeal to some Christian friends of yours who hide you in their attic. You can only go out of the room at night, and then only into the second floor of the house. As the months of your confinement pass, everyone in the family becomes tense. The pressure is unbearable, and you know that you are responsible. If you are discovered, you and the entire family will be shot. It's happened before, just down the street, in fact. An entire German family was massacred by the Gestapo when a Jewish woman was found in their house.
You cannot ask your friends to accept such a burden. Before you leave their home, you tell them how much you appreciate their help, but that you cannot stay. As you walk out onto the street, you hear a loud, roaring noise. You look up and see airplanes, bombers, just about to unleash an attack on Berlin. People race for bomb shelters. This is your chance. You remain on the street, hiding in the corner of a building, watching, waiting. When the bombs fall nearby, you dash out. A corpse lies in the street. You run over, grab the person's wallet, and dash back to your hiding place. The money will help, but the identity cards are more important.
You must now decide how you will try to survive the rest of the war. Like some, you can live in the ruins of the city, scavenging for food, or you can pretend to be a regular citizen, live in an apartment, and get a job.
If you decide to live in the city ruins, continue to page 117.
If you pretend to lead a normal life, continue to page 118.
