Gita’s decision to part ways with the four Polish women is brave, since this means leaving behind the very same people who made sure she didn’t die in the snow with Dana. At the same time, though, going to Bratislava takes her one step closer to returning to her life before she was taken to Birkenau, ultimately restoring her sense of control over her own life. In keeping with this, seeing her brothers again settles a small amount of uncertainty in Gita’s life, since she now knows that not everyone in her family is dead. And yet, one thing remains unknown to Gita: whether or not she’ll ever see Lale again and, for that matter, whether or not he’s even alive.
