“The crude reality is that we are in a concentration camp: all kids, different ages, different sizes, and different skin colors. We are divided from the outside world by a big electric fence and united with each other by fear, hunger, and the hope to stay alive until the war ends and somebody will grant us freedom. “Joshy, it’s time for us to get inspected. The guards will check how big and strong we are,” I declare, with fake joy. I gaze down at my little brother, the only family I have left. His brown eyes are a deep chocolate swirl; his mouth is curved into a timid smile. His soiled blond hair is flowing around his face like a lion’s mane.”

“Bam!” the door screams in fear as the moving bed and the doctors run through. Blinding white lights stab my eyes mercilessly. I try to open my mouth. I scream, “Let me out! What’s going on?

“LOVE! Do you hear me? Love can change things for the better. Not pills! I need attention, a pat on the back, and a look in my eyes, a hug when I am hurt, or tired, or just under the weather. All I need is you guys to be behind me all the time, and pull me up when I stumble once in a while. I need you to protect me, to fight for me, and to believe in me as I am, as you made me and GOD intended me to be. Just hear me for once!”

“At least we were still together. We loved each other, and I would fight until death parted us to save my girls. I opened my eyes and saw the little girl breathing quietly. ”Lucy, my baby girl!” I whispered as I brushed a strand of golden hair off her fragile face, glistening in sunlight. I kissed her lightly on the cheek, and tears of relief trickled down and plunged onto her satin skin. Tulip was lying still, beautiful and helpless next to us. Were we condemned? What was waiting ahead of us?”
