Irene Gut Opdyke |
Ida Haller
"Irene! You must turn us in, this is too dangerous for you!"
Ida Haller was one of the multiple Jews that Irene hid in the basement of Major Rugemer's House. She is the one that makes the biggest impression in the story. She is very careful, and isn't okay with others getting in danger for her.
Major Rugemer
"War brings out the worst, the very worst in some people!"
Major Rugemer is a very respectable man in some parts of the story. He is an old man, and also a high ranking officer of the Nazi party. He takes in Irene as mistress.
Janina Gut Opdyke
Janina is one of Irene's sisters. Her presence is scattered in the story, as they get split up multiple times. Irene tries to protect her at all costs, as she is usually the only family she has left.
