The Night War

Miri rejoins Jacqueline and Beatrice, who have picked a basket of raspberries. Miri luxuriates in the delicious taste of so many fresh berries.

The next day, Miri goes to Mass at the local church with the other girls and nuns from the convent. Miri says Yiddish prayers in her head throughout the service.

She is amazed to see Nora with an older couple. She starts to plan her escape from the pew to grab Nora, but Sister Annunciata, noticing Miri seeing Nora, insists that she stays. Nora sees Miri and calls out to her.

Sister Annunciata keeps Miri in place as Nora is carried out of the church by the couple she now lives with. Miri sobs. Jacqueline assumes that Miri is sad about her great-uncle passing.

Later, Miri tells Sister Annunciata that the baby in the church is her sister, but Sister Annunciata insists that she knows the story and that Nora is not her sister. Miri feels frustrated and desperate.
