Gyuri knows he shouldn't be bothering these people so soon after arriving here but he can't help it anymore. He keeps dreaming of the camps, particularly the night they hung the escapees. He never sees anything in those dreams, he just hears the rabbi standing next to him start saying Kaddish with one prisoner after another picking it up until the

*bouncy beam* I'm Jewish! What would you like to know?

[fateless_boy]

He looks at her, a little surprised that she isn't wearing a star. "Do you know Hebrew? Or Yiddish?"

[oneofallofakind]

Only a little bit. Do you?

[fateless_boy]

"No." He sounds a bit ashamed. "I'd like to learn."

[oneofallofakind]

*frowns* I don't think there are any Hebrew teachers here. Maybe Mr. Shylock... *though he wouldn't be able to teach Yiddish, because he's Italian*

[fateless_boy]

"Can you at least tell me what you know? How to be more Jewish?"

[oneofallofakind]

[oneofallofakind]

Oh, you go to camp? I've always wanted to go! *is pre-Holocaust and lives in blissful ignorance of anti-Semitism*

He just looks at her. (He hasn't gotten the whole different times deal yet.) "No, you wouldn't. They'd send you to the left and gas you right away with all the other kids."

[fateless_boy]

"They'd kill you. They don't need kids." Nevermind the fact that he can't be that much older than her. He also doesn't go in for caring about other's feelings very much any more. "They'd kill you with poison gas then burn you in the ovens with all the others."

*she's sixteen, actually, but the typist knows her best from the first book, where she's ten, and therefore fails at actually making her a teenager. ah well* W-what? Who? Why?

[fateless_boy]

"The Germans. They're killing all the Jews. Don't you know?" He says it all very matter of factly.

[oneofallofakind]

I didn't- my sister's beau is fighting the Germans, but- are they really?

[fateless_boy]

He nods. "Yes."
