The Marcus family lived in a small town during World War 2. They didn't have much money, they didn't have much of anything. They had to work for food and money just to stay in their home. They had 3 children. They were 2, 7, 12 years old. Their names were Phillip, Jermaine, and Micheal. They lived in a town in Alabama. They migrated from Germany because they heard America was the best place around. During world war 2, they were put in internment camps because the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor and the President didn't think that they could trust them. The kids and parents were put to work. While in the internment camps thier mother got very sick. That one day their 3 kids walked into the room where their mother was in, she was not moving and they went closer and they realized that she was dead. After their mom was dead, Phillip also became sick. He has been sick for 3 weeks and finally felt better. Though their mother was dead, they had been living in the worst conditions since they moved in. The children bearly saw their father anymore. So one day all 3 of them met up and came up with a plan to escape from the camp. First they had to get their father free. So they tried to escape at night. The plan was going well until they got caught and had to be put back into the camp. By then they had no idea what to do next. They didnt know whether to try again or just give up. They finally decided that no matter what they were going to try again until they were free. So the next night they waited for everyone to fall asleep. They made sure they were extra quiet this time.When everyone was asleep and they had their father with them, they made it free. So they headed to Mizzouri to live in the farm. Two years from then, the military was sending a search party to find the run away family. They knew they had to leave and find a new place to live. Somwhere far away. But everywhere they go they found the camps, and had to hide in the woods. The woods were a good place to hide with so much open space they decided to make cave. They made it so no one would be able to see it unless they were really looking for it. It wasnt the biggest cave but it wasnt the smallest. They made sure there was enough room for everyone. For two years later, the war was about to end and they had the time to leave their home and go back to living the way it was. So they moved out of the cave and went back to a farm. Not the same one as before but it was still a farm. They were living great, they had food, water, everything they needed to survive. Every now and then they heard gun shots and screams and they went into hinding once more. The war finally ended and they knew they were free once again. Even though they lost a family member along the way they still survived the war.
