In the beginning of this Chapter Irene is taken into a jail and accused of being a spy. The Russian soldiers that have captured her keep questioning her. Irene is tired and worn-out and the soldiers begin to realize it. They ask her if she would like to spend the night somewhere else other than the jail. Irene knows this is an opportunity to escape. She lies and pretends a house close to the train station is her aunt's. As soon as the solider pulls away she runs to the train station and gets a ride on the next train leaving in the morning. Irene is joyful that she is on the train, but soon feels as if something is wrong. Irene realizes that this train has taken her to a quarantine camp. At the camp she is forced to work all day. She is miserable and curious about where all the Jews sent to the camp are disappearing to. That is until she gets sick.... She is sent to the infirmary and not long after, sent away from the prison camp. After being left alone she realizes that she is lost. Luckily, a kind man offers her a ride. Irene is overjoyed and explains to him the directions toward her aunt's house. To Irene's surprise, when she arrives at her aunt's house her whole family is there. Everyone celebrates and rejoices that Irene is finally back home after two full years.
