Diary entry from Edith, age 12.
Sunday, October 7, 1940
Today Hans and I had to move. I hear there were 3,000 of us that had to go… most of my friends didn’t. It was awful. They told me that we have to go to Saxony to live with some nice family. They are splitting Hans and I up though.. that is the worst part. Not only can mother and father not come, but now my other half? On the bright side they told me that it won’t be for long. And my friend Greta gets to come on the same train as me, so it should be interesting. I already miss my mom.
