On the night on June 14 around 10 o’clock as my mother was putting me to sleep, I heard a rapid knocking at the door my mother told me to stay in bed. I didn’t listen and went to the door hiding behind the couch I saw about 5 faces including a little baby in the hands of a woman with fair skin and dark hair. There was 1 more girl about the age of 15 and two men with dark hair and they were all wearing clothes that were ripped and covered in dirt. I hear them saying “help me please we are the Kronenberg”.

He replied with a stern “no” then that was when he turned not so nice replying with “If you don't tell me then one by one my men will slowly kill off your family starting with your youngest”.

I tell Antonia to sit with Liuz and stay there because I was going to go and get something. I went back to the kitchen and hid behind the wall listening in on what everyone was saying. My father final gave up not wanting to put our lives in danger tell Rosenberg where they were hiding I run into the room grab Antonina and Liuz to get them out of the room. The Nazi’s walk in and point to somewhere in the room and my father nods they yell “KRONBERG'S COME OUT COME OUT WHEREVER YOU ARE AND THEN MAYBE WE WON'T KILL YOU”. I could feel the fear creeping over me and
