Here is an update for those of you who were reading!
I screamed “Why us! Why! God why!” I demanded an answer, but I knew I would never get an answer, not from lena, not from mama, or papa, not even god.. I stared at the ground for awhile.. I must have drifted off, because when I awoke I was on the floor, lying down.. I quickly stood up, reached in my pocket and took out papa’s pocket watch and looked at the time.. Oh god.. It was 9:30.. Thats past the curfew in Vilna.. If the jewish are seen out of there houses past 8:00 the german will take us back to their camp, where they all met, to dicuss the problems throughout the ghetto... I tried to walk as fast as I could, passing papas candy shop, looking down at the ground only.. I would get caught easily because of the bright yellow star on my coat.. It had a big J on it.. Jew.. I looked ahead and my house came into vision.. I looked around and picked up pace.. Walking faster, more cautiously.. “Hey! You there! Stop!” I froze right where I was, a few feet from my house and stood, my heart beating hard in my chest.. I wondered if he would hear it.. The flashlight shone bright in my eyes.. I tried to use my hand to block it.
