She is torn between what society has taught her is right, and the love she had for her family. Were her parents traitors? Should she turn them in? Should she tell someone? She found that people she thought were good, proud Germans were being arrested and sent to concentration camps. She went to move her dresser and found something she could not believe. To her dismay, one evening she heard the sounds again, of what she thought was mice. Her father reassured her that he would put out traps and even bought her a cat. Korrina had recently told her Father that she thought she heard mice behind her bedroom wall. She and her friends had been taught to make sweet buns, go on nature hikes, and spy on people that seemed un-German in any way.

Korrina is a proud German who is a member of the Fungmadel, which is a youth group for Nazi youth.


The setting of this story is in Nazi Germany at the beginning of the Holocaust.
