Dear Diary,

Tonight my mother told me that my best friend Ellen will be staying the night with us for possibly a few nights. Soon after, my father told me that we were actually hiding Ellen.

I’m scared. My father said that he wished to protect us from this knowledge. What is this knowledge? Is it bad? Is it classified? I have no idea. Why do they want to capture all of the Jews? My ten year old mind is completely lost.

Ellen is the new Lise , Papa had said. She and I are pretending to be sisters. I don’t think that we will have to work very hard to do that.

Right now I’m so glad that we are so close to the Rosen’s or Ellen would be captured by the Danish right now.

Until Next Time,

Annemarie
