Mrs. Krajewska heard noises and asked Helena if they had a cat. Helena said they did. Siunek then gets chickens to diffuse the noises. Stefania now hears clucking noises all the time.
Dr. Schillinger and Hirsch plan to escape the ghetto by dressing as workers and riding out of the ghetto with the paid-off mailman. When they’re supposed to come to the house, the police arrive. Getting water for the well, Stefania jokes about being kidnapped by Russians. The policemen laugh and tell her they’re looking for hidden Jews. Dr. Schillinger appears and pretends to be Stefania’s upset boss. He yells at her for not coming to work yesterday. Mrs. Krajewska sticks up for Stefania, and Stefania invites Dr. Schillinger in for tea.
Inside, Dr. Schillinger says Gestapo searched the cart, but an Ordner helped them out. A man robbed Hirsch in an alley, but he figured something like that might happen, so he purposely had 10,000 zloty in his pocket. The robber then helped Hirsch by telling him when the police outside the apartment had left.
Two little boys arrive with a note. Malwina Bessermann, Hirsch’s girlfriend, says she’ll tell the Nazis about the hiding place if Stefania doesn’t hide her and her two kids.
