28 August 1940 – Bratislava, Slovkia
Hannah took one last look around the dilapidated warehouse that had been their sleeping quarters. Empty of its former occupants, all that remained were the wooden bunks and clumps of musty straw scattered about the concrete floor.
Erika came up behind her. ‘Don’t tell me you’re feeling sentimental about leaving the Patronka.’
‘No, it isn’t that. It was awful. But I also found my greatest happiness here.’
