300 Page Update!

In these fifty pages, it shows how the Jews are starting to be treated. If you were simply being polite to a Jew, you would go to jail. Their houses would be burned down or broken into. One of Trudi's neighbors was beaten up. Many were taken to investigate, and they never returned. Trudi is starting to see the evil in the world. She is upset because she knows these people who are doing harm to others. She's known them all her life. Trudi, and her father, hide their friends' belongings in their basement until they come back for them. They turn down no one. Helmut Eberhardt and Hilde Sommer get married; Helmut is one of many men that idolizes Hitler. He has hurt many people. Helmut turns his own mother in to the Gestapo because she will not give her house to him. His wife, Hilde, loves him so much, but she does not like how he treats other people. Helmut goes off to war, and Hilde has their son. She names him Adolf to please her husband, but she secretly calls him Adi and hides the portrait of Hitler until he comes back home to visit.
At this time, Klaus has been engaged for nine years. At the last minute, he leaves his soon-to-be wife and marries another woman that is half his age. Trudi is still very jealous, but she loses all jealousy when she sees them walking down the street with their arms linked; she is finally able to let Klaus go. Instead, she answers a personals ad, again, and meets with a man named Max Rudnick. He takes her home and returns a week later to borrow a library book, but Trudi waits for him to return the book as his library fine mounts.
