Danny just stands there and grins. He doesn’t even bother to back away. Sibby’s fists might just as well be a pair of fleas. “Why did you say Sieg Heil and give the Nazi salute? Why did you do that? How could you do that?” Danny Brill has already received a reprimand from Mr. Lockhart while we were all still in the classroom. “Now, now, young man, we’ll have none of that.” But somehow Mr. Lockhart hasn’t ordered Danny to the principal’s office, or said what would happen to him if he ever tried any Nazi shenanigans again. “Do you even know what Sieg Heil means?” Sybil demands. “It means ‘victory for Hitler,’ who wants to kill the Jews and all his enemies so he can take over the world.” “Gee,” Danny says helplessly. “I only saw it in a movie. It was some kind of a German thing. I don’t know what you’re gettin’ so upset about.” “Aahh,” Sibby groans, turning away disgustedly. “You’re nothing but an ignorant slob.” Danny likewise turns his back and goes galumphing off with some of his friends.
