March 16 1943- Mother and Uncle Henrik tricked Ellen and I. She had said that our Great-Aunt Birte had passed away and that the funeral was going to be held at the house by the sea. So, a casket had arrived at the house and Ellen and I picked dried flowers and decorated the house nicely for the service. It was time for the funeral to begin and the mourners arrived. The casket was closed when 4 armed Nazi soldiers came into the house suspiciously. They looked around and put their hands on the casket and suggested that we open it. mother said to them that she agrees that we should open it right now but the body could still have "disease germs". The soldier slapped mother across the face and yelled at her to open it after the soldiers leave. The room was silent as they exited. We waited a few moments then said a small prayer and opened the casket.Inside the casket there was no body, but there were blankets and jackets. They were passed out to each of the "mourners". What is going on?
