Chapter 21 Summary

Yona walks through the forest for days before she finds evidence of a group, so obvious that they could be easily found. A day later, she hears footsteps and sees a man approaching. It turns out to be Zus, who is relieved to see her. She tells him about the German plans to search the forests and says the group must move quickly.

At the camp, people welcome Yona back, and she finds that the group has gained new members. Zus is now a leader, and Aleksander is with Sulia. Yona says the group must move deeper into the forest and through a swamp to escape the Germans. Zus tells her that while she guides the group through the swamp, he and a few others will go find the Bielski group and warn them. Before they separate, Zus tells Yona she is extraordinary, and if his heart were not broken, he would never let her go. For now, he simply wishes her good luck and kisses her cheek.
