Describe the childrens new home

The children make their winter home in the cellar. They try to find out where their mother is from the Polish Council of Protection, but all they can discover is that she was working the land in Germany.

They try to make their new home as comfortable as possible. Edek finds mattresses and curtains for sheets, and makes two rooms. It is hard to find food, but they visit soup kitchens and try to steal from the Nazis.
