When Anna nearly burns down her home, her daughter, Trudy, checks her into the Good Samaritan Center in New Heidelberg. Sadly, the women treat Anna with the same overt xenophobia they have throughout her entire life. The Good Samaritan Center is significant because it serves as a microcosm of the town as a whole, emphasizing its prejudice and hypocrisy.
