![]() ![]() ![]() Lale follows instructions as Nazis use the butts of their rifles to hit anyone who doesn’t obey them. When the train arrives at its destination, SS officers force the passengers out and yell orders. But after days on the train without food, he can tell his new job won’t require a suit. The Germans claimed they would put him to work, but when he reported for duty, he didn’t know what he’d be doing, which is why he’s now dressed in a suit, wanting to look good regardless of what his job will be. Lale’s family is from Krompachy, Slovakia, and when he heard that the Nazis were forcing Jewish families to give the government a child older than 18, he offered himself up. It is April, 1942, and 25-year-old Lale is riding through Europe in a train, cramped in a cattle car with other Jewish men. ![]()
