Gilles, a Jew who was taken prisoner by the Germans and thrown into a concentration camp, lied that he was a Persian, not a Jew. Klaus Koch, the camp director·, wanted to learn Persian and asked Gilles to be his language teacher. Gilles, who did not know Persian, invented a new language by referring to himself as Reza and using the names of the camp inmates as roots. In this way, one dared to teach, the other dared to learn, and the Persian class in the concentration camp began. 0 reply
