War News

We've just recived the greatest news! a german general has made an attempt on hitlers life. That means that the soldiers are tired of fighting for somthing they don't belive in. But sadly most dont have enough courage to do anything about it. But maybe just maybe this is the begining of the end. maybe next year i'll be back in school with non-jews too! I'm full of hope nothing can stop me now!

the invasion

All the adults keep talking about the invasion. They keep saying that it will be any day now. I feel like I should be terrified but is this really much better? Having to be quiet all the time everyday so no one hears us. At least we could go outside! I know i should be thankfull. this is much better then being sent off with no one, not even you family! but i dont know how much of this i can bear. i need to stop gripeing. i think i will go study and cool off.

The Van Daan's

The Van Daan's got here a couple days ago. We thought they were going to be here a couple days from today but the germans were grabbing people left and right. They came rather sneakly so people wouldnt be suspicious. First Peter there eldest and only son came around breakfast time. He's rather shy and gawky. I can't expect much fun from him. Anyway he's just under sixteen. Mr. and Mrs. Van Daan came a half an hour later. To our great amusement Mrs. Van Daan had a huge pottie in her hat box! She said, " I don't feel at home without my chamber!" It was very funny! Mr.Vaan brought a tea table under his arm so we sit at that sometimes. Well theres no more news for now. I'll be back soon
Yours,

The Secret Annex

Today mummy woke me up at 5:30. It was time to leave for good. We put on heaps of clothing. Margot and I filled our school satchels with our most important possesions. We left some meat on the table for the cat and then we left. The people on the street gave us apologetic stares but the yellow stars spoke for themselves. Well daddy just called me to help clean up I will tell you more later

A little bit after 7:00 AM I went and woke up mummy and daddy, I am thoroughly spoiled. by mummy and daddy and my friends! Everything was so nice i got a party game (camera obscura), lots of sweets, terrific books and much more. But I think you are my favorite present. I must stop now. Bye bye. Were going to be great pals!
