Shmuel's father

 Shmuel told me that his father has gone missing. He or his family hasn't seem him for days. The fence was broken and Shmuel gave me a pair or striped pajamas so I could help him find his father. Mother told me that Father said we can go back to Berlin. We looked for until the sun went down and the started to rain. Me and Shmuel where starting to walk back to the fence when the guards start rounding us up and march us some where.I didn't know where we where going but I told Shmuel that everything would be okay. I assumed that they we taking us somewhere out of the rain. Shmuel was scared so I held his hand. People where scared and screaming but I wasn't scared. I was with my best friend in the whole world. I was safe here.
"...Despite the chaos that followed, Bruno found that he was still holding Shmuel's hand in his own and nothing in the world would have persuaded him to let go".

Shmuel, My best friend.

After exploring the woods, I followed the barbed wire fence and found a little boy sitting there. I was shocked to see anyone along the fence, although I stopped and asked him his name.

Bruno: I'm Bruno.

Shmuel: Shmuel.
Bruno: Sorry?
Shmuel : I'm Shmuel.
Bruno:That's your name? I've never heard of anyone called that before.
Shmuel :I've never heard of anyone called Bruno.
Bruno: Shmuel? No one's called Shmuel.
Shmuel has to be the weirdest name. No one in German has that name I bet. Shmuel looked very hungry so I told him I would bring him something tomorrow. I don't know what I should bring, maybe a sandwich. I think he would like that. I found out that me and Shmuel share the same birthday. We also have a lot alike. We were both forced to move here and neither of us want to be here. Shmuel said he doesn't get to see his dad that much and even here it's hard to see him here. I feel bad for Shmuel, he is such a good guy. Well for know, lebewohl.

Out-With ( Auschwitz) \

Out-With, nothing like Berlin. I loved it there in the city but out here there is nothing to do. There are woods that I am curious to explore and there is this strange fence near the yard. Beyond the fence there is nothing but dead grass but on the horizon there are little house and I think people walking around in pajamas it looks like. There is always a fire going on in different house and it's kind of strange. Gretel is still the same old sister she has always been. I still really wish we could have left her behind. This place would have been better without her here. At least her friends, who always make fun of me, aren't here to do that. I really miss Daniel, Karl and Martin. Everyday I ask mother if we can go back and everyday I get the same answer, "Let's make do with what we have." For now, lebewohl.

Moving!!

I came home today after running around with my three best friends in the whole world, Karl, Daniel, and Martin, to find Maria packing my things. Shocked, I asked her what she was doing, I was trying to be polite like Mother said to always be to Maria. Mother told me that we were moving because Father got a new job. I was mad and still am. I don't want to move. This is the only house i have ever known. I love it here in Berlin and my three best friends in the whole world. I have so many memoirs here. But I guess I have to deal with it. Mother said we have to make best with what we have. I just wish that we could leave Gretel, the hopeless cause, here. That would make the move a lot easier.  Oh well, for now lebewohl.
