The thought of jews getting killed and the thought of me being killed is too much. I live in Germany because we don’t have the money to get out. I spend hours a day sitting in bed.

The Germans are killing us jews because they think it's our fault that they lost WWI. It’s hard. We hide. Jane is who lets hide in her house. She never told us her last name. I can’t sleep.

They make us exercise until we faint. Then someone fainted and hit their heads. There dead. We now have to sleep 5 to a bed. We can’t leave. The beds hurt to sleep on. We sleep for 4 hours.

I want to live so badly. But I want to see Mum and Pa in heaven. Months and Months go by. Me getting weaker by the day. I pray every day that we all would be saved.

One of the nazis was beating him up for working slow hand he tried grabbing his gun. Got shot in the face. That's another one of my friends gone. I now try not to make any new friends. I know they will end up dying. It also gives a risk to me and them. I'd rather not have to deal with being sad. I have started to adjust. I have broken just about every bone in my body. I have blisters on every part of my body. I have gotten used to the constant hunger. Years have started to go bye and im lucky im alive. I have been broken on the inside and the outside.
