Escape is almost impossible; many people look Jewish, and they're branded by their shorn heads.
If it's that bad in Holland, what must it be like in those faraway and uncivilized places where the Germans are sending them?
We assume that most of them are being murdered. The English radio says they're being gassed.
Perhaps that's the quickest way to die. I feel terrible.
Miep's accounts of these horrors are so heartrending, and Miep is also very distraught.
The other day, for instance, the Gestapo deposited an elderly, crippled Jewish woman on Miep's doorstep while they set off to find a car.
The old woman was terrified of the glaring searchlights and the guns firing at the English planes overhead.

Bep is also very subdued. Her boyfriend is being sent to Germany.
Every time the planes fly over, she's afraid they're going to drop their entire bomb load on Bertus's head.
Jokes like “Oh, don't worry, they can't all fall on him” or “One bomb is all it takes” are hardly appropriate in this situation.
