When Ruth opens her eyes, it is dark and she is lying in a bunk. She hears her father’s voice, and within seconds, she is in his arms. He shows her her siblings in neighboring bunks, but has left the biggest surprise for last: he has found their mother. Ruth feels a happiness she cannot describe. Her mother has clearly suffered greatly as a prisoner in Germany, but is filled with joy. Jan tells her he lost his treasure box, but he shows her the silver sword tied tightly on a string around his neck.
