When Pierre-Jean Lamour, his future son-in-law and collaborator of the Germans calls the Germans to arrest the Jewish Bernstein family, they move to the confiscated apartment. Some days later, the young Simon Bernstein escapes from the Germans and comes to his former home. When Batignole finds him, he feels sorry for the boy and lodges him, hiding Simon from Pierre-Jean and also from his wife. Later, two cousins of Simon meet him in the cellar of the grocery. When Pierre-Jean finds the fugitives, Batignole decides to travel with them to Switzerland. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil See less
