“Hungary!" Esther shouted. "That's where Mr. Mendel's son is! That's what he was trying to tell us." "That must have been what upset him," Penny said. "Hitler is just like Haman. He hates the Jewish people. But who will be Queen Esther? Who will stop him this time?" She saw Peter writing something. He held it up for her to see. Daddy will.”

Ze keek me aan. 'Jawel,' zei ze. 'Jawel jongen, ook mensen worden gegoten.' Ik dacht dat ze me voor de gek hield, maar ze ging door: 'En bij dat gieten gaat het om de eerste druppel: die wint, en dat winnen zit in het bloed. Daar blijven ze hun leven lang om vechten.
