A couple of woodcutters watch, every day, trains crammed with people pass before their eyes. Naive, the woman always waits for a wave or even a gift. Where are these people going? she wonders. Until someone throws the gift she never thought of receiving: a baby. In this brief account, the author, as in fables, speaks of one of the darkest chapters in human history: the deportation of millions of Jews to Nazi concentration camps.
