Sura looked at the patron in mock appreciation. In all honesty with her first comment, she wanted to punch her right in the nose. She didn't of course, as that would give her position away. She would be of no help to the cause if she were thrown in some underground cell, or worse, a labor camp. "Yes, I speak German fluently. I lived in Germany for one year with friends," she said, trying to hide her disdain for the German woman in front of her. "Yes, it is quite distasteful," she agreed but not wholeheartedly. "I was adopted by Jews, but I am originally from Germany," she continued to explain. The reason why had long since been lost to her. Perhaps she was intrigued by a woman who both loved and hated what was going on around her. To be frank, Sura only felt pity for the woman.
"They are human beings. The fact that they are unpleasing to the eye to some gives nobody any right to treat them in such a repugnant manner," she said, the anger in her voice was rising. Instead of letting it seep out even more into this torrid conversation she turned to get the nurse her coffee. "A coffee please, Casmir." The wiry man from behind the counter sprang to life as he watched the soldiers outside berate the Jews that brought forth the same reaction in the blonde at the front.
Sura walked briskly towards her table and slammed the saucer and cup a bit harder than she intended. But she gave no indication of an apology. "Will there be anything else, Fraulein?" she said in a bitter tone. She wanted to get away from her as soon as possible. She felt as if the nurse could smell her religion on her, although she wore nothing that would give her away except a small tattoo of the Star of David on her inner thigh. She got it tattooed on her skin a few weeks after her sister was captured, from a Jewish Rabbi who wanted everyone to wear something for protection but something that no one could remove if they couldn't see it. It ached her heart that because of these… people, if she could call them that, everything she knew and loved had been ripped out from under her. "You’d do well with sticking to the feeling of astonishment. You would not feel the same if the shoe was on the other foot, Fraulein."
