Endurance
When Henrik asks me to hide his wife and son, I don’t hesitate.
Every day, I bring food and water to the sewer where I’ve hidden them. I feel it’s safer than hiding them in my house when the Nazis show no boundaries in searching homes.
Unfortunately, it’s not the accommodation I hoped for, but Henrik and his family are grateful. The resistance has brought more people into the hiding space and so they are no longer alone.
It saddens me, but I fight along with my comrades for a better life in our country.
And so, we all endure.
