The young Jewish narrator, Jakob Beer, is hidden in a rural home. He notes that while he enjoyed the luxury of a room, 'thousands were stuffed into baking stoves, sewers, garbage bins. In the crawlspaces of double ceilings, in stables, pigsties, chicken coops'. The narrative refers to Mayor Karrer and Archbishop Chrysostomos's refusal to collaborate with the Germans.<sup id="cite_ref-Michaels1998_36-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Michaels1998-36"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>36<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Transport">Transport</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Zakynthos&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: Transport"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Zakynthos_Airport,_New_Terminal,_Greece_02.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3f/Zakynthos_Airport%2C_New_Terminal%2C_Greece_02.jpg/250px-Zakynthos_Airport%2C_New_Terminal%2C_Greece_02.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3f/Zakynthos_Airport%2C_New_Terminal%2C_Greece_02.jpg/330px-Zakynthos_Airport%2C_New_Terminal%2C_Greece_02.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3f/Zakynthos_Airport%2C_New_Terminal%2C_Greece_02.jpg/500px-Zakynthos_Airport%2C_New_Terminal%2C_Greece_02.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3072" data-file-height="2304" /></a><figcaption>Zakynthos Airport (ZTH)</figcaption></figure> <p>The island is covered by a network of roads, particularly the flat eastern part, with main routes linking the capital with <a href="/wiki/Volimes" title="Volimes">Volimes</a> in the north, Keri in the south, and the Vassiliki peninsula in the west.
