To Easy

As soon as he said it my heart

sank

To easy was wrong

To easy…

I worked very hard ,but

to him it was to easy.

I’m surprised I got one of the

highest scores out of the class.

“I guess the test was to easy if Melody passed!!!”

It repeated over and over in my mind.

Somehow I was out of my mind.

If it was so easy then

everyone should have

passed it with flying colors!,

but they didn’t,so I guess they are just

DUMB!

Because it was to easy

for Melody.

Not only was that unfair

but also the most

very wrong idea

Lessons I learned in our Holocaust presentations!

 

 

The 1st lesson that I learned was that Hitler wanted a master race of blonde hair and blue eyes.Hitler wanted the world to only be blond hair and blue eyes he was obsessed with twins and wanted everyone to look the same.Hitler wanted to only have Blonds and blue eyed kids because he didn’t want any remembrance  or memories of the jew that said he wouldn’t succeed as an artist.He only wanted blonds and blue eyed because he wouldn’t have to remember any facial experience of jews with different hair color or eye.I remember going to a friends party and we had to dress up a certain way and one of my friends didn’t and she wasn’t able to go to the party any more.In conclusion he only wanted blond hair and blue eyes to be the master race.

During our Holocaust lesson I also learned that Hitler wanted to rule the world.He knew that if he got a big enough army that he could take down different places or countries one by one. I don’t think he knew that if you put 2 countries together they can create a big army and Hitler didn’t want to have to face the consequences when he was defeated so he committed suicide and shot himself in the head.A big lesson is not to hold a grudge over a little thing because it could turn into a big problem and bad things could happen to you , the people you love, or the people you didn’t try to hurt.

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.

The Small Box

As I saw the small box
under the Christmas tree
I thought “It couldn’t be!”,
but as I ripped the wrapping paper
inside was what I wanted
with a huge smile on my face
in my favorite color and everything
a Polaroid camera was in the small box that
was under the Christmas tree.
I rushed to my room and put in the instant film
to take a picture of all of my gifts
and to get what I wanted so soon
I was as happy as a new puppy getting a home
that I almost fainted off of the couch .
I believe that Santa had something
to do with my happy Christmas day.
