Dear Diary,
Ellen Will be staying a few nights at our house.
We were going to stay at her house and her mom would cook chicken for us because they were celebrating the Jewish New Years but unfortunately the plan changed.
We were all eating dinner when my parents began to explain what was going on and why Ellen was staying at our house.
So father began saying “Now Ellen you already know what’s going on so we’re going to have to tell Annemarie. Annemarie the Nazi’s have been capturing all the jews and Ellen and her family had to be safe …”. While father was talking I noticed a tear run down Ellen’s face. I didn’t say anything and continued listening to father.Father continued. “So Peter took Ellen’s parents somewhere safe while Ellen stayed here”. I asked why her parents couldn’t also stay with us. He replied with a sigh and said “We wouldn’t be able to hide three people in our tiny apartment… but we can hide one. Plus they have a list of who the Jews are and where they lived. Ellen I promise your parents are somewhere safe … I don’t know where but they’re safe. Ellen will have to take Lisa’s place as being your other sister. Ellen nodded and we all continued eating our dinner.
Until next time Annemarie.
