Dear Diary,
Ellen is staying with us for a couple of days and I am super excited for that, we are going to have so much fun!! We are going to stay up and…Diary I will be right back ,Papa is calling Ellen and I to talk with him for a moment.
I can’t believe what Papa just told me. He said that the reason why Ellen is staying with us and why she was so sad at dinner is ,because Peter has taken her parents to somewhere we don’t know but we know it’s away from here. Soldiers are coming to take away Jews for some reason we don’t know of. Papa said that if soldiers come to our house that Ellen and I would pose as sisters and if the soldier asked any questions about our family to just stay quiet and let Papa answer them.
Now I’m nervous that Kirsti will have something to say and might possibly say that me and Ellen aren’t sisters and she might be taken away and I can’t even bare to imagine that because without Ellen who would I walk to school to or play “Gone With the Wind” with. I hope and pray that Kirsti will be asleep or so tired she can’t talk.
Diary I’m scared ever since Hitler came to Germany everything has been messed up and I’m worried that it will never be the same. Like before he came. Now i can’t remember much of it really all I remember is that everyone was happy and nobody was being looked for but now it’s like nothing will ever be happy again or nobody will be looked for.
Thank you for listening and I will talk to you soon again.
Love, Annemaire.
