Yoel walked up to him and let the old man cut
all the hair off his head. Then his father came and took
him back to the hut.
The guards stood in the door while the men with
the shaved heads and striped clothes got to take a piece
of bread from a basket from the guards. Saul was
standing in the line and looked back at his son. Yoel had
told his father that he was hungry many times, and he
hadn’t eaten since they got on the train. When it was
Saul’s turn to take piece of bread he took a deep breath
and took three pieces and turned around quickly, hoping
that the guard didn’t see.
You there! Come back here, now!, the guard
yelled at Saul. After you have given me all the bread you
just tried to take, you are going to follow me and we’re
going to take a shower!
Saul handed back the bread and looked over his
shoulder. He saw Yoel running towards him.
Excuse me, guard!, Yoel said with a loud voice.
May I take a shower with my father? The guard looked
down at Yoel and smiled.
Yes, that would be great, the guard told Yoel. Both of you,
follow me!
The guard, Yoel and Saul caught up with a large
crowd of men who, according to the guard, were going to
shower too. A man with a scar on his forehead looked
back at Yoel.
