From the Floorboards
It has been quiet thusfar this evening. It should be louder, it being a day or so after Hitler's birthday. I'd think that there would be more celebration from those who cared.
I heard from my friend that the stadium was packed, that the applause were so thunderous that individual people, though they tried to yell, could not be heard over the din. I was told that the sun was shining brightly, the weather was pleasant, and it was the perfect picture of national pride. I would rip the abomination right off of my damn coat to go outside and see that. Not the rally, you understand. I'd just like to be able to go out with my friends like we used to, to not worry about being shot on sight, to enjoy the fresh air. To think it was just a few months ago when this started. I could even go to the normal school then.
Also, I could get away with going out after curfew for awhile, even after this whole thing got started. For all of the Nazis' talk about genetics and purity and whatnot, they couldn't see the Jewish girl a few feet away, buying groceries. But that didn't go on for long. Blonde hair and green eyes can't hide a star sewn on to one's clothing. And I've tried everything to hide it.
But I shouldn't be complaining. There are probably a lot more souls out there who have it worse than I. I've paid an older couple to hide me in their basement until I can find somewhere else to live (and I refuse to go back to school, out of fear of getting killed on the walk there), and said basement is cozy. It's even close to the street, so I can hear people going about their daily business above. The situation for now is safe, but I'm not sure how much I have left to spend on hiding, or the extension of the older couple's hospitality.
I think I hear a group of people in the street. I'll investigate later.
