Her family is inside. They know that when the SS comes in, they will be arrested. There are never enough loose floorboards tohide under together.

There is nowhere for them to go. Nobody makes a sound. And then the pounding stops. They breathe a sigh of relief when all of a sudden they hear a murmur at the door... The SS is trying to get in! An icy cold goes through the room and everyone holds their breath.

It remains silent for a moment. And then they heard the footsteps of the SS leaving again".
