Q

Mir: …the school is what kept her going. And we’re going to continue it!
Pavel: what?!?

A

How? Who’s going to be the teacher?

28
Q

Mir: later, we’ll go through the books and see who can teach what. Today, we’ll start with a history lesson.

A

No. Today should be for poetry.

29
Q

Mir: Poetry?! We don’t have time for-

A

(Cut him off) Mrs. Kafkova loved poetry.

A

(To Mir) Maybe he’s right.

34
Q

Mir: We’ve got to keep our minds alive! Read the poetry, I’ll stand guard.
Jana and Erik: We’ll read our poem!

A

Okay

35
Q

Jana and Erik: (with great fanfare) the little mousie!

A

But quietly.

36
Q

Jana and Erik finish their poem and everyone applauds. You move over to Martin and say…

A

Are you writing a poem?

37
Q

No. Just drawing.

A

Do you want to show it to the others? (He shakes his head. You stand) Then who’s next?

38
Q

Erik: Can we do our poem again?
Jana: Please?

A

Let’s give someone else a chance.

39
Q

Alena: I wrote a poem.

A

Good. (You sit)

40
Q

(Alena reads her poem and there is a negative response)

Jana: I don’t like your poem.

A

(You cross to front) Mine’s called “Birdsong”

41
Q

(After Miroslav writes in his diary) Eva?

A

Yes?
(I miss mommy and daddy)
So do I.

42
Q

Jana: where did they go?

A

I don’t know.

43
Q

Jana: when will we all be together again?

A 
I don't know
(When?)
Someday
(When?)
Soon
(When?)
44
Q

Jana: why did they take us away?

A 
We've been through this
(Why?)
Because that's the law
(Why?)
Because we're Jewish
(Why?) 
Because we were born Jewish.
(Why?)
Enough Jana!
45
Q

Jana: Eva?

A

(Still annoyed) Yes?
(I love you)
And I love you (pat on shoulder)

46
Q

Mir: Martin! Eva! I’ve got an idea.

A

(To Jana) Stay here.

47
Q

Mir: Everybody! Martin, Eva and I are going to do a skit.
All: Hooray!

A

Shh! Not too loud.

48
Q

(After skit, they’re talking about the film they’re going to “make”)
Alena: I’ll be a Nazi guard.

A

We don’t need guards.

49
Q

(After film, you walk next to Mir.) the poem you guys say?

A

(Just you) I wish that I could fly away..
To somewhere very far from here.
Where grown-ups laugh and children play, and people do not kill each other
Maybe all of us
Ten million strong (join hands)
Will find that world
Before too long (drop hands)

50
Q

Pavel: Who would read it?
Miroslav: Us. The other prisoners. It could be an inspiration. And maybe one day we’ll find a way to get a copy to the world outside.

A

(Excited) I wrote for my school’s newspaper

51
Q

Mir: And I was the editor of mine.

A

You were?

52
Q

Mir: We can do this Eva
Martin: We don’t have a printing press

A

We can hand-write the copies.

53
Q

Pavel: Let the grown-ups do the fighting. We’re kids! (He walks away and there is a silence)

A

(Sobered, to Mir) Anyone caught doing this will be killed.

54
Q

Mir: we won’t be caught.

A

(Look at Jana) I won’t put the little kids at risk.

55
Q

Mir: after the first one, it’ll be each person’s decision.

A

(After a pause, agrees) It’s got to have a name.

56
Q

Mir: I know! Vedem! “We are leading!”

A

I love it.

57
Q

Mir: (races in) I found it! I found the underground room! I met Berthold Ordner, the blind artist!

A

I don’t believe it!

58
Q

(Mir gives you a description of the underground room)

A

Did you take notes?

59
Q

Mir: No, it was too dark

A

(Hand him scraps of paper) Do it now. Before you forget anything.

60
Q

(Mir finishes reading his article) I can think myself away from this dirt and filth and travel to beautiful places.

A

It’s going to be a wonderful article

61
Q

Mir: Have you finished your editorial?

A

Almost.

62
Q

Mir: Tomorrow I’m going to start bringing it to the other barracks.

A

(Step to Mir) That’s to dangerous, you could get caught.

63
Q

Erik: I want to write an article!
Jana: Me too!
Mir: About what?
Jana: I don’t know

A

We agreed not to put the little kids in danger.

64
Q

Mir: We agreed that after this issue, it would be each person’s decision.

A

Jana is not going to get involved

65
Q

Jana: That’s not fair! (She runs off)

A

Jana! (run off towards him)

66
Q

Jana: Why can’t I work on the newspaper?

A

Because I dont want anything bad to happen to you

67
Q

Jana: Because you promised Mommy and Daddy?

A

And because I love you
