The Morgans told me they would glue her face back in the morning. They cleaned up the room and told me to get some rest, but I couldn’t sleep. I laid in bed, wide awake, thinking about all my Jewish friends. Then, I thought of Emily. She must be so scared. Is she and my family safe? They came to my apartment room, did they just stop looking there, or are the still trying to find
them? Did they take them away? It wasn’t going to be a few weeks before they send us a letter. I wanted to know then if the were OK too, but more importantly I wanted to know why did Hitler hate Jews? I got up and ran to the Morgan’s bedroom. I knocked on thier door as loudly as I could. I fell to the ground and put my back to their door.
“Hello?” said Mr. Morgan.
“Why is does everyone hate the Jews?”
I asked as tears started falling down my face.
“Am I going to hell because I am Jewish? I asked.
I heard footsteps and the door opened. I looked up, Mrs. Morgan was standing there in her night gown, still shaken by earlier. She closed the door and sat down next to me.
“Where did you ever get that idea from?” She asked me calmly.
“Well if everyone hates us, does that mean God hates us, too?”
“No, no, no, not at all child!” She said.
I laid down and put my head in her lap. She put her fingers threw my hair gently as I said. “Well why do so many people hate Jews. Why does Hitler want us all dead?”
“He isn’t just trying to kill the Jews you know.” She said
looking down at me. I sat up.
“Who else is he trying to kill?” I asked. “Everyone
without blonde hair and blue eyes I have heard. And everyone who is sick or diseased.”
I looked up at her.
“ You have blonde hair......but your eyes are green.” Does that mean he is going to kill your husband?” “He has brown hair and brown eyes and they didn’t take him away.”
“Yes, that is true, but I think they are mainly after the Jews now. Don’t worry. Being Jewish isn’t a sin, but killing people is. Now please dear, try to get some sleep, alright?" She said sleepyly.
“Yes ma’am.” I replied.
I kissed her, told her good night, and went back to my bedroom. After laying there for about an hour, I finely got some sleep and prayed that the soldiers weren’t going to come back for me or get Emily.
