Online Lesson: Diary Entry - A personal response to war

Name: Mileva Frank Age: 13, Gender: Female, Jew, currently in hiding with family

A day in life of WW2
Dear Diary,

Things haven't been well recently. Mum and Dad are quarrelling almost everyday, so is Mr and Mrs S. The food isn't enough, the sirens at night makes us unable to sleep, the Secret Annex (our hideout) is so cramped. We don't have lights either. Well it's lucky that Uncle Fredrick (we are not blood relations) could loan us this area though. The Germans are on the patrol everyday. The other time I saw several man getting shot and I almost screamed. I heard Dorota got sent to a concentration camp, and her family too. It's the same as dying, everyone who goes there just disappears. It's so horrifying. New camps have been built already, five to be exact. Living in fear is terrible, when will this war end?

Yours,
Mileva
