I hate the Nazis. They treat me and my family like second class! But in reality there is nothing I can do but outlast them so why complain. At least my family can live have luxury, for a jew. We live in a small room with a bed, a stove, and 2 chairs. Most jews could barely feed themselves with this Nazi occupation. A year and a half ago we lived with my uncle. There I was starved almost all the time and there was lice in the bed. But with my earnings and my mother selling the last bit of her jewelry we are able to pay rent and get food.
A lot of the work jews do is unpaid so the way I got my earnings is by filling in for jews who don't want to or can not do this forced Nazi labor. It did not make a whole lot by any means but it is still keeping my family from starvation. The only problem was that people were running out of money to pay me. I got really worried that I wouldn't be able to support my my family. But one day, I was assigned to help a Catholic electrician rewire a Nazi official's house. After working that day, I asked the Nazi official if I could get a letter that stated that I could come back and work with the electrician everyday so incase I was caught in a raid, I could the letter saying I could work.
And about my family my sister went live on a farm so she wouldn't go hungry but my mother an my brother are still here and alive. My grandfather is still back in his town I assume and my mother and my uncle are in close touch. Currently I'm 13 years old and have gotten a lot stronger from doing all that labor. The biggest issue with everyone is the food shortage but hopefully we can the Nazis will leave soon and we can return to our normal lives.
