It was June 6th, 1944. Early in the morning, I heard large ships and boats. Because of the noisy ruckus, I woke up in a jiffy. My parents were away for their work and I was home all alone. I was scared for a second because I heard other languages that I had never heard before in my life. Out of nowhere, a giant guy with a gun in his hand came into my house and said something to me. I was very frightened and did not know what to do next. They picked me up with one hand and put me in a truck. I did not know where they were taking me and I started to cry. Some of my friends were in the truck too. I suddenly blacked-out. =====
