After visiting the cemetery, Lazarre, Nico, and Sebastian walk to the synagogue. Sebastian and Nico decide to race, but as they approach, they run into three Nazi soldiers who tell them that they are cannot enter the synagogue. The Nazi soldiers are surprised to learn that the blond-haired, blue-eyed Nico is Jewish, and they tease him by implying that his mother must have cheated on his father. Lazarre grabs his two grandchildren and escorts them away from the synagogue.
Lazarre, Nico, Sebastian, Fannie, and Fannie’s father walk to an empty harbor and begin to pray. Fannie’s father keeps watch for German soldiers. Nico asks his grandfather what he should pray for, and Lazarre tells him to give thanks for the good in the world and to pray for the war to end.
The Jewish community in Salonika must be careful of how they choose to resist the German soldiers. They hold secret classes in different homes to continue teaching the children despite the closure of their schools. One morning, as Nico’s family attempts to hold one of these classes, a Nazi soldier invades their house and gives the family five minutes to pack and vacate their home. As the family frantically leaves their home, they begin to panic because Nico is nowhere to be found.
