Five [חמש]
Author(s): Nola Chilton
Five female inmates in a concentration camp, each from different backgrounds, tell about their experiences and everyday life at the camp: how they lost their identity, their clothing and personal items, even their hair. They talk about death, those who are lost, and the horror that surrounds them. To cope, they make each other laugh and they pretend there is food, but they also fantasize about how to get revenge on their Nazi captors.
