As their conversation went on Kitty found herself explaining to Ken how she felt that she didn't belong. She didn't belong to Hungary any longer, and she only belonged to Australia as a late-arrival, not a native; she didn't belong to the Jews; she didn't belong to the Roman Catholics - she didn't belong anywhere. That was how she felt. Although her mother was still alive, her father and all her male relatives had been killed in the death camps. If she had gone back to Budapest she would have found not one single living relative there.
