Jew. The very word sent chills down Marias' spine. 5 months ago, it wouldn't really mean anything, just her religon. But now it ment more, so much more. Maria was 12 and going to die. And why? Because some puffed up trash brain named Adolf Hitler thought that Jews were a minortiy. Her father had already died, her mother and sister sent away just an hour before. She was next, she knew it. Even though her parents had tried to keep her hidden, maria was sure that the Nazis knew everything. She prayed for her mother and sister and father, then went, got her thin shawl, and stepped out the door. "Let this not be my undoing, God" she prayed" For I must do this, but help me".
