In the beginning of this Chapter Irene learns how everything in "Poland" has changed. She learns how unfairly the Polish people are being treated and how may rules they have to follow. Many of them have been killed and taken away, but her family is lucky. Irene also finds out that all the Jews have been taken into one fenced in part of town. No one why they are there and what is going on in there. Although, Irene's reunion with her family doesn't last long. Soon, her father is taken away by the Germans to help them in war because he is an engineer. Irene and her family are devastated and her mother decides they need to visit him. Irene wants to go, but her mother tells her only her three youngest sisters can go because the older two look German, which could get her mother in trouble. Irene and her other sister Janina are upset, but they know it is for the best. For the next month her and her sister are constantly worrying and looking for places to get food. One day at Church, when Irene is alone, soldiers burst in and force Irene and the other people in the Church into the town square. There, they select people to get on their trucks and be taken to work for them. Unfortunately, Irene is one of those people. At the end of this Chapter Irene looks back at her home as the truck is pulling away and wonders if this is the last time she will see it and her sister again.
