“It’s a lie.”
The large man’s voice was deep and hoarse.
“What’s a lie?” someone whispered.
“Where we’re going.”
“They’re taking us north.”
“They’re taking us to die.”
“Not true!”
“It is true,” the large man said. “They’ll kill us once we get there.”
“No! We’re being resettled! To new homes! You heard the boy on
the platform!”
“To new homes!” another voice added.
“There are no new homes,” the large man said.
A shriek of train wheels silenced the conversation. The large man
studied the metal grate that covered the only window in this lightless
wagon, which was intended to carry cows, not humans. There were
no seats. No food or water. Nearly a hundred others were crammed
inside, a solid block of human beings. Old men in suits. Children in
their sleeping clothes. A young mother cupping an infant to her
chest. Only one person was sitting, a teenaged girl with her dress
hiked up over a tin bucket the passengers were given to relieve
themselves. She hid her face in her hands.
The large man had seen enough. He wiped sweat from his
forehead then pushed through the bodies toward the window.
“Hey!”
“Watch it!”
“Where are you going!”
He reached the grate and jammed his thick fingers through the
holes. He grunted loudly. With his face contorting, he began to pull.
Everyone in the cattle car went silent. What is he doing? What if
the guards come? In the corner, a lanky boy named Sebastian stood
against the wall, watching all this unfold. Next to him was most of
his family, his mother, his father, his grandparents, his two younger
sisters. But when he saw the man pulling at the window grate, his
focus turned to a thin dark-haired girl a few feet away.
Her name was Fannie. Before all the trouble began, before the
tanks and the soldiers and the barking dogs and the midnight door-
pounding and the rounding up of all the Jewish people in his home
city of Salonika, Sebastian believed that he loved this girl, if there is
such a thing as love when you are fourteen years old.
He had never shared this feeling, not with her or anyone else.
But now, for some reason, he felt swollen with it, and he focused on
her as the large man wiggled the grate until it loosened from the
wall. With a last mighty pull, he ripped it free and let it drop. Air
rushed through the open rectangle, and a springtime sky was visible
for all to see.
The large man wasted no time. He pulled himself up, but the
opening was too small. His thick midsection could not fit through.
He dropped down, cursing. A murmur went through the train car.
“Someone smaller,” a voice said.
Parents clutched their children. For a moment, nobody moved.
Sebastian squeezed his eyes shut, took a deep breath, then grabbed
Fannie by the shoulders and pushed her forward.
“She can fit.”
“Sebastian, no!” Fannie yelled.
“Where are her parents?” someone asked.
“Dead,” someone answered.
“Come, child.”
“Hurry, child!”
The passengers shuffled Fannie through the scrum of bodies,
touching her back as if sealing wishes upon it. She reached the large
man, who hoisted her to the window.
“Legs first,” he instructed. “When you land, curl up and roll.”
“Wait—”
“We can’t wait! You must go now!”
Fannie spun toward Sebastian. Tears filled his eyes. I will see you
again, he said, but he said it to himself. A bearded man who had
been mumbling prayers edged forward to whisper in Fannie’s ear.
“Be a good person,” he said. “Tell the world what happened
here.”
Her mouth went to form a question, but before she could, the
large man pushed her through the opening, and she was gone.
Wind whooshed through the window. For a moment, the
passengers seemed paralyzed, as if waiting for Fannie to come
crawling back. When that didn’t happen, they began pushing
forward. Ripples of hope spread through the boxcar. We can get out!
We can leave! They crushed up against one another.
And then.
BANG! A gunshot. Then several more. As the train screeched its
brakes, passengers scrambled to put the grate back over the
window. No luck. It wouldn’t hold. When the car stopped moving,
the doors yanked open, and a short German officer stood in blinding
sunlight, his pistol held high.
“HALT!” he screamed.
Sebastian watched the hands fall away from the window like
dead leaves dropping from a shaken branch. He looked at the officer,
looked at the passengers, looked at the teenage girl crying on the
waste bucket, and he knew their last hope had just been
extinguished. At that moment, he cursed the one missing member of
his family, his younger brother, Nico, and he swore he would find
him one day, make him pay for all this, and never, ever, forgive him.
Let Me Tell You Who I Am
You can trust the story you are about to hear. You can trust it
because I am telling it to you, and I am the only thing in this world
you can trust.
Some would say you can trust nature, but I disagree. Nature is
fickle; species thrive then flame out. Others suggest you can trust
faith. Which faith? I ask.
As for humans? Well. Humans can be trusted only to watch out
for themselves. When threatened, they will destroy anything to
survive, especially me.
But I am the shadow you cannot outrun, the mirror that holds
your final reflection. You may duck my gaze for all your days on
earth, but let me assure you, I get the last look.
I am Truth.
And this is a story about a boy who tried to break me.
For years, he hid, during the Holocaust and after it, changing
names, changing lives. But in the end, he must have known I would
find him.
Who could spot a little liar better than me?
“Such a beautiful boy!”
Let me introduce you to him, before all the lying began. Stare at this
page until your eyes drift into cloudy subconscious. Ah. There he is.
Little Nico Krispis, playing in the streets of Salonika, Greece—also
known as Thessaloniki—a city by the Aegean Sea that dates back to
300 BCE. Here the ruins of ancient bathhouses mix with streetcars
and horse-drawn wagons, the olive oil market bustles, and street
vendors sell their fruits, fish, and spices taken off the morning boats
from the harbor.
The year is 1936. The summer sun is heating the cobblestone by
the famous White Tower, a fifteenth-century fortress built to protect
Salonika’s shores. In a nearby park, children shriek happily in a
game called abariza, where two teams draw chalk boxes then chase
one another between them. If they are caught, they must stand in
the box until they are “freed” by a teammate.
Nico Krispis is the last one left from his team. He is being chased
by an older boy named Giorgos. The captured children shout “Look
out, Nico!” whenever Giorgos gets too close.
Nico grins. He is fast for his age. He dashes to a streetlamp,
grabs hold, then spins around, launching himself like a slingshot.
Giorgos pumps his arms. It’s a footrace now. Nico’s toe touches the
edge of the chalk box just as the older boy slaps his shoulder.
“Abariza!” Nico yells as the children scatter. “Liberté! Freedom!”
“No, no! I got you, Nico!” Giorgos declares. “I tagged you before
you touched!”
The children freeze. They turn to Nico. What’s it going to be? He
looks at his sandal. He looks at Giorgos.
“He’s right,” Nico says. “He got me.”
His teammates groan. They stomp away.
“Oh, Nico,” one laments, “why do you always have to tell the
truth?”
I know why.
I can always spot an admirer.
***
Now, perhaps you ask: Why focus on this one little boy? Of what
interest can he be? Are there not billions of lives that Truth could
share, baring the intimate accounts of their time on earth?
The answer is yes. But with Nico, I offer you a story of
consequence, one that heretofore has never been told. It concerns
deception, great deception, but also great truth, and heartbreak and
war and family and revenge and love, the kind of love that is tested
over and over. Before the story ends, there is even a moment of
magic, set against an endless tapestry of human frailty.
When we finish this story, you may say, “That was impossible.”
But here is the funny thing about truth: the less real something
seems, the more people want to believe it.
So consider this about Nico Krispis:
That will get you noticed, at least by me. If Nico snuck a sweet roll
from the kitchen, he would admit it the moment he was questioned.
If his mother said, “Are you tired, Nico?” he would confess he was,
even if it got him sent to bed early.
In school, if Nico was unable to answer a teacher’s question, he
would willingly share that he had not read his homework. The other
students laughed at his honesty. But Nico’s grandfather, Lazarre,
whom Nico adored, had taught him early on of my precious value.
When Nico was only five years old, they were sitting near the harbor,
staring over the gulf at the majestic Mount Olympus.
“My friend told me the gods live up there,” Nico said.
“There is only one God, Nico,” Lazarre replied. “And he does not
live on a mountain.”
