Eilif never again sees his family after he is drafted into the Swedish army.
Eilif never again sees his family after he is drafted into the Swedish army. Though rewarded for his massacre of villagers, he is executed after the fighting ends. His sister, Kattrin, is punished for stealing Yvette's red boots. Because a soldier's assault has left her mute, she must beat a drum to warn of an invasion, though she is shot for her troubles. Their brother, a young man named Swiss Cheese, had earlier been arrested for stealing an army paybox. For ten points, name this Bertolt Brecht play in which a woman loses her family to war and is left to pull her cart through Poland alone.
