On a cold day in 1942, inside a Nazi concentration camp, a lone young boy looks beyond the barbed wire and sees a young girl pass by.  She, too, is moved by his presence.  In an effort to give expression to her feelings, she throws a red apple over the fence -- a sign of life, hope, and love.  A young boy bends over, picks up the apple.  A ray of light has pierced his darkness.

 The following day, thinking he is crazy for even entertaining the  notion of seeing this young girl again, he looks out beyond the fence, hoping.  On the other side of the barbed wire, the young girl yearns to see again this tragic figure who moves her so.  She comes prepared with apple in hand.  Despite another day of wintry blizzards and chilling air, two hearts are warmed once again as the apple passes over the barbed wire.

The scene is repeated for several days.  The two young spirits on opposite sides of the fence look forward to seeing each other, if only for a moment and if only to exchange a few words.  The interaction is always accompanied by an exchange of inexplicably heartening feelings.
