Authors notes:
Ive been studying the holocaust sense I was eleven. In inspiration to the story night by elie wiesel and the diary of a young girl anne frank I was inspired to write a story. I’m doing research as I write and post. If you have any questions on the historical please ask. I will also include sites that I have used. The characters I have used are fake but the dates and events are real. And to all the people who lost someone in the holocaust and survivors. Thank you for your courage.
