Dear Diary,

A few days ago, my dad and I were listening to the radio when we heard the terrible and shocking news; Germany had invaded Poland. My dad became incredibly mad after this. Today, I saw many Jews taken to camp. Worst of all, my own father was taken! Those evil men must have found out that he had helped run away Jews, but it was too late, he had already pledged to help the Jews. My loving father helped the Jews by giving them our extra food. He was gone many nights. Mother had always said when he left ” Bless his heart.” I always wondered what she meant. Now I understand. Father also gave them our old clothes. I once seen my father bring a girl to our home for two days. She was very thankful for my father. I soon noticed Mother was terribly sad. This immediately made me sad as well, but as the oldest I refused to cry. It seem's Mother has already cried for all of us. I must know where they have taken my Father. I still believe we will be able to find and rescue my father. My brothers don’t really understand.
