Writing Task

Exchanging Letters 

Dear Father,

It had been a rough and long time without you, I have been waiting for this chance to talk with you about what is going on here. A bit after you left us, I was captured by the nazis and now I have been taken to Auschwitz Birkenau, a concentration camp. This time here has been the worst experience I ever had, the treatment here is awful, we eat and drink almost nothing, we use some ugly clothes that don't help us to keep warm, we are always dirty... I have seen many people die because of different reasons : hunger, thirst, coldness, diseases and even asassination, all of these terrible things without any significant reasons, and even if the nazis had reasons, I shouldn't be here, i am only a child and I haven't done anything to harm them. But they don't understand... I don't find a viable way to get out of here alive, I tried my best to stay awake, I have a friend who is also from Budapest who has been helping me but even with his help I can't keep any longer, this is my last effort to survive, I NEED YOU.

I hope you read this father,
Gyuri
