Simon and the Oaks Page #2

Just to be on the safe side.

If the Germans come.

Inga...

Burn it.

Caught it.

I love you...

Early this morning German troops invaded...

...both Denmark and Norway.

Swedish troops protect our borders.

We cannot and should not assume

responsibility for you today.

You should all go home and be with your parents.

God save our King and Country.

My father says that Sweden will

collaborate with the Germans...

Then we'll get rid of all the Jews.

- Mr Lentov.

- Good afternoon, Mrs von Sydow.

- We're leaving, it's not safe here.

- I hope to see you soon.

Our best to Mrs. Lentov.

Go on home now, Simon.

Bye.

The Oslo radio announced today that German troops

have disembarked in Norwegian

harbors at 3 o'clock this morning.

Hostilities have occurred on the Oslo Fjord.

The Norwegian government has left

Oslo to take up quarters in Hamar.

It is reported that German troops

have crossed the Danish border.

Three German cruisers have entered Middelfart Harbor.

Soldiers have disembarked and

occupied the adjoining streets.

Swedish Citizens should follow the

news and prepare to find shelter...

Olga!

Come to me!

Come to me!

We must stay together!

Isak!

Mother!

I must protect you from the Nazis!

- Come here!

- Father!

Then they drove her to the hospital.

And now?

I don't know.

Will she come back?

Dad says we'll visit her often.

Come in.

Sir, there's someone here to see you.

Good afternoon.

My name is Karin Larsson.

I'm Simon's mother.

I'm sorry to bother you...

- It's I who must apologize.

I should have called on you long ago.

Hello Simon.

Isak, look who's here.

I'm deeply grateful that you've let

him spend so much time with you.

I would like to talk about Isak.

He seems so lost... and lonely.

So... I was thinking...

Could Isak stay with us for a while?

Forgive me...

But since you're working...

and he's alone in that huge flat...

...without his mother.

You must forgive me, I...

Simon.

No.

I beg you... wait.

It is very kind of you.

You must tell me how much I should pay for his lodging.

Absolutely not.

He is so...

Zerbrechlich...

...fragile.

I'm so scared he will become like her...

His mother.

- He won't.

Look!

What a great oak!

An old tree house!

Let's climb it!

- No, I don't want to.

- Come on!

Don't you dare?

Coward.

Shut up!

Coward!

Dad!

Yuck!

Can we?

One each.

You don't need to bring things every time.

I have something for you.

- Thank you very much.

- You're welcome.

A small something for Mrs Larsson.

It's jasmine and rose, with a touch of

bergamot and fresh peach.

I hope you like it.

Go on, try it.

Erik will come home on leave this weekend.

He would very much like to meet you.
