HELLO,
My name is Jocelyn Marie Dunmore, but I prefer Josie if you don't mind. I am 17years old, I am Christian, and I am currently running our mansion. You can say that I am a little better off than most people. My Papi is a Doctor, and my mother, who is deceased now, was an actress in Germany (but that was before I was born). So I am by myself besides the other Christian workers, the Lundenburg's, and Hilde, because Papi is away on business. We are what is called "Christian Rescuers" and are currently hiding my friend Grace Lundenburg and her family in a secret apartment in our basement of the mansion. Grace and her family needed a place to hide themselves so I asked Papi if we could do it, and he said yes. So now they are hiding with us. Her family is Hans, Margret , and Alec. They are a very nice family. We also have workers who are also Christian Rescuers because they know about the Lundenburg's. We tried to save as much Jews as possible. Everyone in my family is hiding Jews. There are so many horrible things happening to them that it's a shame we can't take more. It hurts me to think" Here I am, a rich girl, has a home, a life, food, pretty much everything I need to survive" while I think of all the Jews and others that are starving, being shot, getting experimented on, gassed… there was a senior immature boy at my school, who was in the same class as me and the teacher was talking about the War and the Jews. The immature senior said this "let them die, they deserve it". I stood up went over to his desk and punched him in the nose. Broke his nose I did and her cried like a baby. He said that he will tell his father what I did, and I said "go ahead, see what he will do". Normally I am not a violent person and because I did that I was very scared that I did that because I didn't know what his father would do to me or who is father was. Besides getting in trouble, I felt better all the same.Then there is Hilde Brookfield who we don't know much about except that she was supposedly homeless. We all think otherwise. There is something fishy about her story that I don't like.
