September 30, 1940

Dear Diary, today my best friend Ellen has come to stay for a while. My parents informed us that Peter, The Free Danes newspaper boy, has taken Ellen’s parents somewhere safe to stay clear from the Nazis. Apparently, the Nazis have taken lists of all of the Jews from the synagogues in Copenhagen.

 

This means that they are going to take the Jews somewhere really bad, though I still quite don’t understand where. It also means that Ellen and her family are in trouble. I think they are starting to take them away because Mrs. Hersch’s button shop was closed and had a sign with german writing and a swastika on it.

 

I am really worried for Ellen and her family. I don’t want them to go away ever. I honestly couldn’t live without Ellen. Tonight I’m going to pray to God Ellen and her family won’t be taken away. She means so much to me.

 

Until next time,

Annemarie

Christmas is whimsical,

Best time of the year

My Christmas was amazing,

My winter break was a thrill

 

My family and I had so much fun,

I was so sad when it was all done

We played a lot of games,

such as Monopoly and Checkers

 

There were many wins,

and also many defeats

I had good luck,

although my dad had some bad luck

 

We did the BeanBoozled challenge,

there was a barf flavored bean “Ewww!”

My dad was too wimpy,

and didn’t do the challenge at all

 

My family played Guitar Hero Live,

the last two days

My Mom could complete any song with 100%,

she was as good as the guitarist on stage

 

I’d have to say it was an amazing break.
