Chapter 27 is the end of the book, but it does mention what happens to Irene in a little section at the end of the book. It explains that Irene moves to America and ends up marrying William Opdyke after running into him at a coffee shop. 5 years after Irene moved to the US she became an American citizen. She William had a daughter named Janina and moved to southern California. She also learned what happened to many of the people she left behind back home. The major moved to the Ida Hall until he died. Many of her laundry room friends moved to Israel and had started lives and families there. She also learned that sadly, her mother had died shortly after the war was over. Irene also started telling people about her experiences in the Holocaust in America. Another thing Irene did was take a trip to Israel to visit Roman Haller, now a grown man. (Roman Haller was Ida's baby who she had saved back when Ida was still living in the basement.) The final thing it says is that Irene gets to visit her sisters in 1984 for the first time. So overall, after the war, Irene lives a happy life with her new family in America.
