In Germany between World War II (1942) in September in some agricultural fields, today Bremen, there was a house from the Baver's family (a peasant family), this house was build by stone blocks, the roof was of wood perfectly attached, with two floors. If you see through a window you could see a big pot filled with hot soup in the smokestack, this was not a normal soup for this days, it was made only on special occasions, for celebrations, it was made of corn, wheat and some meat, the smell of the soup was in all the house. There were some dirty dishes on the kitchen (it was behind the dinning room, the smokestack was in front of the smokestack, and there was a hall with some books, the floor was of wood, it was old and it made some sound when someone stepped on, there were stairs to the rooms. The reason of the celebration in the Baver's house was because they were hiding the Berman family (refugees, Jewish), this was their first year supporting the Bermans, so they were excited, this family had a lot of luck because they were checked by Germans soldiers more than thirty times. The Baver family was formed by Björn, the father, Cäcila, the mother, and two kids, Brigitte twelve years old, and Bruno nine years old, while the Berman family was the father Abraham Berman, the mother Julia, and three children, Liza twelve years old, Roxane fifteen years old and Ken nine years old, they also had a very playful cat. The bond between the families was forged since the fathers were kids, they went to the same school and work, they were always together, they were like brothers because it was a very strong relationships. Björn never told anyone that he was a Nazi in his childhood, but he decided to leave it and help people.
This night was a nice one, there was some classical music playing in the phonograph, Abraham told a story of how does his father went to Germany and how he made a enormous profit, and how does he met Björn, and Björn told the story of how does he met his wife, so every moment was interesting in the table, they joke, they ate the special soup, some fresh bread, and a little wine, they were enjoying the party until the night was set and they saw some vehicles approaching to the house, so the Berman hide in some kind of special room below the floor, it was small, it was good for this situations, the Germans came and knocked the door they enter and they started to check the house, suddenly some sound came from the room, Ken steeped on a wooden board, and the soldiers came rapidly there, there was a big silence, and surprisingly the cat jumped from a hole and ran, the soldiers were very scared, then they checked again and they didn't find anything in the house, finally they leave, and the dinner continue....
