ROAR book 2

This is my secong day reading my ROAR biography book
called "the upstairs room" Today I read about how Annie's
mom and grandma were speaking secretly about how they must help
the German jew soldiers. Annie listened in curiously because,
of course she wanted to know whta was happening since no one
would tell her. Annie heard her mom talk about one german soldier
that had been whipped while crossing the border because of the
fact he was a Jew. Annie's father wrote a letter to a man named Bram
to help them get away from Holland. Because he knew the longer
they stayed there the more intolerable their lives would become.
Though his wife argued it wasn't nessesarry he proceeded anyways
in making the letter. Even if he had sent the letter it was too late
already to do so. And no one else in the town of Holland
would give him the papers he needed to go to America.
