Bruno’s Unfortunate Nativity in the Holocaust Bang! Bang! Bang! That was the sound of Jews being killed by Nazis, German soldiers under the control of Adolf Hitler. He was the supposedly “president” of Germany at the time who had a belief of killing others that were “different” than him, mainly Jews.

A few weeks ago, I woke up and was itchy all over. I soon discovered it was body lice. We wake up early and we’d have drills. In the afternoon, we drill. In the evening, we drill. I learned…
