Letter Dear Hitler, I am not a Jew, disabled, or a gypsy. I am plainly a young school, and yet the world is so cruel. I did nothing nor did anyone of the Jonsnons, then why are you doing this? I can not even imagine the pain the Jews are going through right now. I want to help but how? I feel broken inside for terrible things are happening before my eyes and I just stand and watch. Now I lost my best friend forever, because of this war. When will this stop? when will you stop? How do I help?

- Annemarie

Dear Annemarie, This war is not a terrible thing nor is it a war. This is the start of world domination. Try to help what? If your talking about the Jews you are crazy, they put this upon themselves. If they did not want to die they should not have been born that way. They are the reasons of all of the problems in Germany, I can not stand it any longer. So stop trying to help and face it the world would be a better place with out them -Hitler and Nazi Army

Children were treated with no mercy In conclusion, the holocaust was not just war but a terrible time with so many losses.
