“Walk on by, walk on through
Walk ’til you run and don’t look back…”
~ U2.
May, September & October 1933.
Kurt makes his final delivery to Mrs. Altmann and learns that her and her husband are moving to the Bavarian Quarter. Mr. Altmann asks Kurt to look up an old friend at Friedrich Wilhelm University once classes start. He also mentions that there might be a job for him as his manufacturing firm if he does well in school.
Later, the German Student Union organizes a book burning which horrifies Kurt. During lunch, Wilhelm asks Kurt if the Student Union has contacted him yet to join, and warns Kurt that it will be difficult to remain on the sidelines. Meanwhile, Moshe stops in on Gertrud and finds her wearing the uniform of Deutsches Frauenwerk. She coldly informs him that she no longer washes clothes, and warns him to stay away from Kurt.
On the first day of classes, Kurt is appalled by Nazi propaganda openly on display and learns that many professors have already been fired, including Mr. Altmann’s old friend professor Klingemann. Finally, Oskar proposes to Anna and she accepts.
