NOTES FROM GIRL X

3 December 1942

To the people of Paris,

Yesterday I awoke at five o‘clock because I knew that I would visit before school. J is the boy I love. He brought me news and in some ways I wish he had not. His older brother has fallen in love with an actress. She acts in plays that are approved by the Nazis. I said she claims to be above politics. I told him it is wrong for her to perform on stage when there are Boche swine in the audience. We had an argument and I feel terrible.

Every day my life is the same. Inside I am changing but I am allowed no new experiences, no way to express these changes. It makes me want to scream. I read books to lift me out of this dreary world and into another where I am not hungry all the time. There is still no food. Thank God for what I and M bring us. We eat beans almost every day.

The Nazis are attacking Russia near Stalingrad. My father says they should have paid more attention to French history, because Napoleon met his greatest defeat in Russia. In my opinion, even if the Germans freeze to death in Russia, the eastern front is still very far from France.

Dear reader, I implore you, do not remain indifferent to the terrible things that the Boche and their traitor friends are doing. Even elderly Jews from a UGIF home have been sent to Drancy. What are they going to do with old people? They cannot work! If you are free to read this, you are free to help. Why do you not all write letters to the Pope? Some of you are certainly happy writing letters to the Gestapo, denouncing Jews.
