Heute zum Gedenken an
beyondme, 03:01h
Eva Heyman
was 13 years old when she started writing her diary in February 1944 and continued writing until May 1944, the day she was deported to Auschwitz.
She died on October 17th, 1944.
May 30, 1944...Even though, dear diary, I
don’t want to die; I want to live even if it means that I’ll be the only person here
allowed to stay. I would wait for the end of the war in some cellar, or on the
roof, or in some secret cranny. I would even let the cross-eyed gendarme, the
one who took our flour away from us, kiss me, just as long as they didn’t kill
me, only that they should let me live.
Now I see that friendly gendarme has let Mariska come in. I can’t write
anymore, dear diary, the tears run from my eyes, I’m hurrying over to Mariska… (End of diary)
