Number The Stars Diary Entry

Dear Diary,

Today was the craziest day ever! It started off innocent, before the Germans came to “Relocate” the Jews. I was told by my best friend’s father, that I was to move in, to not get caught. He told me that a man named “Peter” took my parents somewhere. I just hope to live to tomorrow.

 

As far as I’m concerned, Annemarie is my ‘sister’. For them to keep me, is really hard. It seems like another mouth to feed. I just wish my mom and dad were here. My friend, Anniemarie, doesn’t even understand what’s going on. I don’t really either.

 

What a great way to start off the New Year, am I right? Well diary, that’s all for today. Goodnight.

 

Sincerely,

Ellen
