One day, cutting through the swamp, David comes across the remains of old Indian souls and discovers a skull with jewelry still buried on the bodies. As David kicks at the skull, he hears a voice and looks up to see a black man seated on a stump just looking. The man, wearing a black sash around his body, has a soot-stained face, which makes it appear as if he works in some fiery place. David soon recognizes the stranger as the devil, the black man.

There was a sense of impeding doom that turned my stomach. Although I couldn't bear to look at the mask I held outreach to you, my eyes were tempted to look to you. I side-swiped a glance at you before you took the mask. My eyebrow arched as you looked at me, visibly distraught. My eyes did a double take, and my gaze fell curiously back on you.

After reading this novel, the first idea that was clearly evident throughout the entirety of the story is that Jewish people are highly unwanted. Leslie Schwartz was just a young boy when he began to experience these unwelcoming greetings from the Germans, who in particular were the Nazis. During this time period Jews were looked down upon and were even considered to be "dirty". This term "dirty" that was used to describe the Jewish was not used in a literal way most times, instead it is used as a metaphor suggesting that they were somewhat similar to what we know as slaves.
