The country was now under the total control of the Nazis. German soldiers were everywhere. Although the Germans announced at first that nothing was going to change, each week new regulations to restrict us were announced over the radio and on posters. Hitler decreed that Jewish children had to go to Jewish schools that were to be opened specially for them. They were not to be allowed to mix with other children in Dutch schools and Jewish teachers had to be found as Christians were not allowed to teach us.
