In this Chapter Irene reveals that the soldiers that she was running from did not actually shoot her, but instead they beat her until she was unconscious. Irene wakes up from this incident in a hospital. They explain to her she is a prisoner at the hospital and will be forced to work there. They show her her two roommates who will teach her how to speak Russian, Galla and Maruszka. Irene struggles at the hospital because of the administrator Dr. Ksydzdof. He has a hatred for her because she was assisting the Polish army. One night he tries to attack her in her bed. Luckily, Irene smashes a teacup over his head and he goes unconscious. Irene now knows she needs to escape this guarded hospital so she goes to kind Dr. Olga. He helps her find a place to stay if she escapes. This Chapter ends with Dr. Olga wishing Irene good luck during her plan. I think this Chapter is very important because it shows how even if you were not Jewish during World War II the war still had effects on everyone. Irene really gives you an insight on what it is like for someone that you wouldn't necessalry think would be effected as much by this war.
