In this Chapter Irene continues to work for the Germans in their hotel kitchen. Irene is kept busy not only in the kitchen, but in the laundry room, a new part of her job. In the laundry room she meets some Jews who are under her control. At first, they are weary of her, but then they realize she is going to try to help them. She asks them about their lives and they tell her about how they are living in horrible conditions under a heartless general named Rokita. One day she meets Rokita in the dining room and is astounded by how handsome he is. Immediately, she knows she can use this to her advantage... She learns that she can hover around him for a longer time and listen to his conversations without him becoming skeptical of her. She knows he will just think she is interested in him. Even though Irene is only a girl she knows that she can help out. She pretends she is struggling with the work load and asks for more Jews to help her around the hotel. She wants to get as many people out of the terrible conditions of the ghetto. Another way she uses her age and looks to her advantage is by staying around longer when cleaning Rokita's table. One day she overhears Rokita talking about something like a rebellion. Irene realizes she can do this because she is only a girl and no one will suspect of her of anything.
