Channah nodded. "I understand. Erm. Where is everyone that's alive?" Her voice shook a little at first, and so did her knees. This woman was intimidating. Channah didn't even know the nazis had allowed female soldiers. Of course, Channah had many questions. But they would all get her into trouble, or she would find no notable answer. Some of them included: Where am I? What do I do here? Will I die? Where is my family? Who are you? Why do the nazis allow you to be a soldier?
Naturally, Channah held her tongue. At least she had some common sense. The reality was: people died in this camp by the day. She had to make sure she wasn't one of them; that mission was clear. 'I'm not ready to die,' She thought, 'Other people might be willing to die, and lay down their life. But I'm not. I'm not ready. And I never will be.' -
Claudia shrugged, as if she didn't know either. "Well, most of them are probably doing work for the soldiers or they are probably... Well, I don't really know to be honest." She felt really stupid. Of course she knew what they were doing! She was just too secretive to say.
"Look, if you're worrying about what's going to happen to you here, don't be. If anyone wants you killed, I will prevent it from happening." Claudia reassured the girl, who was standing, shaking in the corner.
If I have the courage to stop them, that is. She reminded herself in her head. Claudia honestly didn't want the girl to die, not today, not tomorrow, not any day. She didn't get why her own kind-the soldiers had to be so selfish and take the lives of innocent Jews. She just didn't know why. -
I need to have dinner now, I'll be back later.)

"Everyone dies here." Channah said, glancing over to the corpses of the fallen women. Flies and maggots were infesting the bodies. 'I don't want that to be me.' She thought. And, naturally, she didn't trust what the soldier was saying. Channah had heard many lies. The first one being "We don't hate the Jews." And of course the Nazis hated them. They would be keeping them entrapped in death camps, forced to labor, and starve them if they didn't.
Channah was only seventeen. What had she done in her lifetime to deserve such torture? Oh, don't be selfish. There were many who had it much worse. Many had fallen to a slow death, from disease and starvation, forced to labor. Channah sighed quietly to herself at that, wrapping her arms behind herself. "I see..where should I go?" -
Claudia sighed. "I know. Not everyone survives. Actually, no one at all."
She wished that she could somehow reassure the girl, but it seemed it was no use, whatever she said to calm her down, it didn't work. Claudia knew the girl didn't believe her when she told her that she wasn't going to die. None of the Jews believed the Nazi soldiers who had taken many innocent lives away from the people who were in the camp.
This was why Claudia had hated her job. She didn't get to choose whether shewanted to be soldier or not, she was just picked out from the crowd and given orders that everyone had to abide to. Fortunately, she wasn't one of the people who had to kill the Jews, oh she would have hated that. Claudia remembered making a promise to herself two years ago when she's joined thenNazis: I will never kill any of them, those Jews. Not a single one, no matter how much I am forced to.
So far, she had kept that promise, and was quite proud of herself. Claudia didn't dare tell anyone her promise, otherwise she would most likely end up like one of the tortured people in the concentration camps. The thing is, if she did anything against what her leader said, then she would probably be killed in front of everyone.
Claudia shook her head, and went back into reality. "I will take you to where you need to go, you can trust me." She smiled, and led the girl out of the room, towards the work area, where many Jews were being forced around, doing gruelling chores for the soldiers. -
Channah gazed at the other woman working in the fields. Those bony, starving figures could hardly manage the grueling chores without shaking. She felt out of place more than anything, with her being the only one who hadn't lost half of her body weight. And for that, she was grateful. Not like I'd last long at all, though. Within a few weeks her own body would be mimicking theirs; underweight, pale, full of fresh scabs.
She was shocked, yet again. And this took all of her self control not to make consciously obvious. She nodded, her face blank. "I see." She said. "So, any so any chores I'm supposed to be doing?" Channah asked her. Not that she was looking forward to it, she was looking forward to getting her mind off the current situation. Soon, she would be able to work for a while, repeatitive tasks so she could fly far away. Her mind would drift off to somewhere else, and she'd be okay. -
