Part 7: "Thou shalt not steal" tells the story of a woman who is tired of living falsely as the sister of a girl who is really her daughter, so she runs away from her own parents, taking her daughter with her. Part 8: "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor" deals with a New York woman who confronts a Warsaw ethics professor with refusing her shelter as a child during the Nazi occupation.
