Dear Diary,

 

Today was supposed to be a happy occasion the last day of September the Jewish new year .Instead today was really scary, at the synagogue the rabbi said that German soldiers took the list of our names. Now Mother and Father went with Peter and I’m staying here with the Johansens. Mr. Johansen says that the Germans are relocating all the Jews,whatever that means. So I am staying with Annemarie tonight and I don’t know how long I’m going to be here. The Germans must have used the list from the synagogue because it had all of our addresses.

 

Until next time, Ellen

too early

dripping_coffee_mugsecond one up was Dad

he looked me in the eyes

he said I was crazy

from my head down to my thighs

he went to bed but could not deny

with me there not a wink of sleep would get by

so he got up a little bit later

his grumbling as loud as a radiator

then came Mom in her nightgown

as she got her coffee with a big frown

the last one was Drew

and he sleeps like he has the flu

but Dad was able to move him from his bed

Drew looked as though he was touched in the head

now with all my kin

the presents screamed to be opened

and christmas was about to begin
