HISTORY 126B Chapter Notes - Chapter 1-15: Nanny, Visitengland, Nazi Propaganda
Document Summary
Chapter 1: girl says that she can"t fall asleep so she"s allowed to sleep on the living room couch. She"s curious about what adults talk about and hopes they"ll reveal secrets. She overhears the adults talking there about a lot of jewish deaths. Held temporarily in buchenwald and tortured and he"s back. Girl is wondering so many questions about what happened to him: girl meets hans in england and she"s matured physically but mentally not really. Still absentminded, impatient, likes to run away from things: girl is from america and goes to visit england with another cousin from mom"s side: heinz. So the girl asks about it and a lot of people leave. I"m getting the vibe that everyone who left, including the gentile wife, was uncomfortable with the subject or something. Hans explains everything and answers the girls questions.
