" "They will shoot you when you return." Papa said, "Nathan isn't going to return. Hurry! We must pack!" We all stared at him. "Quickly," Papa said, clapping his hands. "Rifka, run and fill your rucksack with all of your belongings." I do not know what Papa thought I owned. Mama said, "Rifka, do you have room in your bag for my candlesticks?" "The candlesticks, Mama?" I asked. "We either take them, Rifka, or leave them to the greedy peasants. Soon enough they will swoop down like vultures to pick our house bare," Mama said. Papa said, "Your brothers in America have sent for us, Rifka. It is time to leave Russia and we are not coming back. Ever." "Don't we need papers?" I asked. Papa looked from Nathan to Saul. "There is no time for papers," he said. "
