The secret
4/7-1945
10 am
A lot of my jewish friends, one of them is Fritz Weber, has been picked up by train and disappeared. No one has come back yet! They just left their things and home. My friends from the communist party is also gone, they went by a similar train. I am actually worried about them and who knows what is going to happen to the people on the train. That is the reason why I lie about being a nazist. I am still a communist, but no one knows it (except my sister). My grandpa died two years ago, it is sad but me and my sister got a job on a factory so we are doing pretty good. At the factory we make spare parts for vehicles that they use in the war. It is a boring job and we are getting very tired every day. We work there 10 hours for 7 days in the week. We have worked here for two years now and I actually hate this job, but it is the only thing me and my sister can do right now to get money.

I use to meet one of my communist friends sometimes and talk about very important things. She is almost the only one left from the communist party so we need to stay together and most of all keep our meetings secret. No one may know about us being communists. If they ever found out what we are doing they might put us on that train! But we can’t just give up on our communist party, that is why I am going to meet her now at the park.

Right now I am at the train… It is a lot of people here, I mean a loooot of people. It makes it really hard to breathe and it is so hot in here. The reason why I am here is because the gestapo found out that I am a communist. One of them saw me and my friend at our meeting when we mentioned that we are communists. We said that it is hard to keep it a secret and that we don’t want to lie about being nazists. Then the gestapo took us to this train. I am worried about my friend, my sister and myself! I think the train is going to start now. Many people are upset and scared, I can understand that. But when I look out through the window and see even more people who are scared I understand exactly why. It is the plane on the sky which drops bombs over us!
