Why was everyone panicking about the arrival of Himmler?

Heinrich Himmler was a high-ranking Nazi who was in charge of planning and implementing the Holocaust.

Explanation:

In Spinelli´s story, Misha finds about him from Kuba who explains that Himmler is the “Number Two Jackboot” and responsible for their imprisonment. Enos claiming "We´re as good as dead" portrays the fear they felt over such a sinister figure going to visit them, which could lead to even more violence.

it's like watching a fable, it's not really about the animals but rather it has a meaning that is understood by us and that is implicit, not explicitly said. implicit ideas are common and are used in almost all works of art, from writing to painting to sculpting.

it is the background information on the characters and setting explained at the beginning of the story. the exposition will often have information about events that happened before the story began. the exposition is often the very first part of the plot.
