The curtains couId be drawn,
to give me some privacy.
:58:05
The first thing I did was...
:58:08
...put a picture of my parents
on the bedside table...
:58:11
...so l could say goodnight to them.
:58:14
The first three months
before war broke out...
:58:17
...we couId stiII write home.
:58:19
So I couId share my experiences
with my parents...
:58:22
...and I had Ietters very frequentIy.
:58:24
So I didn´t feeI quite so isoIated.
:58:40
´´As you can well imagine...
:58:42
´´...you have been constantly
in our thoughts.
:58:45
´´We still see your face before us
in that window...
:58:48
´´...of the railway carriage. ´´
:58:52
´´My dearest little mouse:
:58:54
´´Hopefully this letter will reach you...
:58:56
´´...already in your new home,
where you surely will enjoy your stay.
:59:00
´´Be a very good little girl.
:59:02
´´Be obedient. ´´
:59:06
´´Dear Parents:
:59:07

:59:13
´´Greetings and kisses. ´´
:59:17
´´l was very happy
with your dear little letter...
:59:20
´´...only there shouldn´t be
so many spelling errors! ´´
:59:24
´´lf only l could see you
just for a tiny moment...
:59:28
´´...but, as it is,
l can only write letters full of longing. ´´
:59:33
´´Dear Daddy: Thank you very much...
:59:36
´´...for the game of cards...
:59:38
´´...and the brooches...
:59:40
´´...and the bracelet.
:59:42

:59:46

:59:48
