Gotfryd presents several real-life stories that describe the horrors and extraordinary circumstances of his experiences in WWII Europe. Examples are: young Bernard breaking curfew to find a rare chicken only to see it given to the Christian janitor; the compassion shown toward a German prisoner who is beaten by the Nazis after taunting his fellow Jewish prisoners; and the night that Bernard spends in the home of a young SS officer.
