Characters mentioned in the story

Chapter five is about Joseph and a boy named Jan. (his name was revealed further into chapter 5 while Joseph was questioning him. The boy said that revealing his name was dangerous, but he reveals his name as Joseph gave him a sword to keep). Reading into this chapter, you uncover that it’s about Joseph wanting to travel back to Switzerland and while on his way is informed that a goods train is the best train to jump. Finally when the sky is dark, Joseph and Jan meet at the meet point and Joseph and Jan say their goodbyes as Joseph jumps on a goods train while getting drenched by water.

Chapter 5:-The goods Train Summary-

The night Joseph was taken away was a snowy, cold one. All the children are asleep, Edek on the top floor and the girls below. Edek jumps up when he hears a noise outside, but his door is locked. He uses a trapdoor to the attic and climbs up there. His rifle from the Boys’ Rifle Brigade of Warsaw is hidden there. Outside, he sees a van. Voices downstairs stop, and outside Edek can see Stormtroopers taking his mother to the van. When she is inside, he fires, hitting a soldier in the arm and puncturing a wheel. The van careens away swiftly. Edek runs to his sisters’ room and busts it open. He tells them what he did; ruth wanted to get away instead.They cannot go out the front door; the only way is the roof. They climb up the attic and out on the roof through a skylight. Edek warns tiny Bronia not to make a sound.It is a terrifying couple of steps in between the chimney and the roof ridge. They slide into the ridge and cannot see what is going on below. All of the roof ridges in the area are connected, which is lucky: they would not have gotten away otherwise. They climb for about a hundred yards; then they hear a magnificent explosion. They see their house billow up into fire and smoke. Edek calls for them to keep moving and they finally descend a twisted fire escape. They hurry far away from the fire. The pale dawn breaks and they shelter in a cellar of a bombed house.
