I cling onto Mamas hand and Nora, my twin sister, clutches Papas. After what feels like forever, the train stops. We spill out of the carriage, the sun blinding us after being imprisoned in darkness for so long. There are people everywhere, soldiers separating children from their parents, husbands from wives. Were in some sort of queue, and a man in a dark-green SS uniform walks by, glancing at everyone he passes. Twins, twins, he shouts. My heart falls into the pit of my stomach. Right here, says Mama, hesitation in her voice. My daughters are twins. My eyes widen, and Nora trembles. Papa tries to tell Mama to be quiet, but its too late. The Nazi catches sight of us. Twins, he says again, pausing to inspect Nora and me. Yes, you are, arent you? You two are going to come along with me.
