May 6th We are getting very close to going into hiding. Well we are starting to pack the food. I am packing this (diary), clothes, all my school work, and my personal stuff. I forgot to write this yesterday, we are to wear a six pointed star it’s the symbol of a Jew. Rachel is packing everything that she can put in her school bag. I told her to pack only necessary to stuff. Jacob is packing college school work, clothes, and personal stuff. William is packing school work, and since he might graduate well in hiding, if he does he will use Jacobs’s school books. William is packing personal stuff too. I just heard terrible voices, it sounded kind of German :( My hands are shaking too much to write. I will try to write later!! )
Later: Whew, that is the closest I have seen a Nazi solider. Mom and Dad were hiding, and I didn’t know that so I went down stairs and the Nazi solider was leaving so I crept down quietly and thankfully he didn’t see me!! I went and told Mom and Dad and told them they were clear. Then told them about the Nazi solider they thought I was very brave!! :) Hope I can be brave like that in the future!!
