Chapter 12-13
Hannah finds Gitl, who looks past her with a distant gaze. Hannah goes to her and sees that Tziporrah is still curled up in bed. A fly crawls on her cheek. Hannah cannot believe her eyes and as she goes to touch Tziporrah, Gitl strikes her twice, telling her not to touch the little girl. Gitl then breaks down, holding Hannah close. She wonders how to tell Yitzchak that the girl is dead.
