Letters

1) Write a letter from the mother to the father upon leaving to move back to Berlin without him.


Dear Ralph,


I have left Auschwitz to go back to Berlin and have taken them with with. This is not a place where children should be growing up. They have no friends here, no school, have no where to play and there are no other houses near by. On top of this there is a ''Concentration Camp'' not far from our house. I am extremely disappointed in the ''Work'' that is being carried out here. It is not right and these people have done nothing wrong to deserve this inhumanity. The children will be going back to school in Berlin and will be growing up in a safe and secure environment. If you come back home now we may be able to live together again but if you choose to stay in Auschwitz then we will have to go our separate ways. I hope that you choose to come back as the children miss you.


Love always,


Elsa. 


2) Write a letter from Gretel to Bruno after he went missing.


Dear Bruno,


We all miss you so much everyone is extremely upset now that you have gone. I am very sorry for all the mean things that I have said to you, please come back home we don't want anything bad to happen to you. Mother is losing it she can't believe that you have gone and no one knows where or why you have gone. Father has ordered his soldiers to look for you and we have been looking day and night. I hope you get this message and choose to come back home little brother. 


Love, 


Gretel.
