To avoid the deportations, Lolek's father arranged for his family to hide in an attic, alongside nearly a dozen other Jews, who had to stay still during the regular German inspections, his mother stuffing his mouth with cookies to keep him quiet. 

That's right, if you want a kid to keep quiet, cram his mouth full of cookies - clumped together dry crumbs - that he has to chew and swallow, or maybe spit out.

If I'm not mistaken, Yankee, they were all in a barrel rather than an attic, and I believe there was a wolf who was raising them.  Truly unimaginable suffering.
