معسكر أسرى الحرب
One of Lore's brother's is murdered by Russian soldiers during the trek, but Lore, the rest of her siblings, and Thomas, eventually manage to locate her grandmother. Lore and her siblings feel unable to explain Thomas to their grandmother and keep him secret, frequently visiting him in the rubble he is squatting in. Shortly after Lore asks Thomas about images she has seen in the newspaper of Nazi concentration camps he runs away and Lore's younger brother reveals that the identity papers he had were stolen from a dead Jewish man, possibly to protect himself from being sent to a Prisoner-of-war camp like Lore's parents.
