After Trudi's encounter with the boys, she was traumatized. She found it hard to eat, and she couldn't sleep. Trudi rarely left the house.
Then comes Hitler. He leaves the whole town dazed with his speeches. As Trudi looks up at him, she sees that he wants their belief without doubt; something she has resisted since first grade. Everyone was elated about his promise of new jobs and a superior race.
With Eva out of the way, it was time for Trudi to get a new friend, so she got one. Ingrid Baum was a year younger than Trudi and wanted to become a missionary. They became best friends. Trudi became aware of Ingrid and her beauty when she first met Klaus Malter. He was a gorgeous man that had eyes for Ingrid. The three of them always hung out as a group. He was a dentist and had his office across the street from Truid's home/pay-library.
That spring, in 1933, many books became forbidden. Trudi and her father had to hide many of the books in the pay-library in order to avoid arrest.
This year the circus came again and four years after that. Trudi always looked for Pia, the dwarf, but she was never there.
Oh my goodness. Trudi's first kiss. It happened unexpectedly with Klaus Malter. She didn't even realize what had she had given up until later that night. That same night she became reacquainted with Eva and her boyfriend, Alexander. Their relationship would soon become important when Jews were no longer able to marry Germans (Eva is a Jew). They got engaged soon after.
To Trudi's disappointment, Klaus seemed to pay little attention to her. In fact, he avoided her whenever possible. He even asked Eva to a dance, but she turned him down.
Then the Nazis came upon Burgdorf. Many were happy with Hitler, but others were disgusted. Trudi and her father do not trust him. They had many close friends that are discriminated against.
