Abstract:
On the surface, Böll's short story, situated in World War II, relates the encounter of a young German soldier with a girl at a train station in a small Hungarian town, their connection, and their parting. Below the surface, however, is the unspoken but all-pervasive fact of the deportation of provincial Hungarian Jewry to Auschwitz.
