Hello, my name is Samuel Berkenstien.
I am a 15-year-old male Jew from Krakow, Poland. I live with my 11-year-old sister, Lara, as well as my father, Mark, and my mother, Lynn. Our town is a typical place with many children of the same ethnicity and age for me to play with.
Additionally, my family is normal too. I have a strong connection with my father and an affectionate relationship with my mother.
Although my sister and I occasionally argue, we have a strong bond of love. Our family practices the Jewish faith, but we are not as strict as some others. While we do observe customs like lighting Hanukkah candles and fasting on Yom Kippur, we often neglect evening prayers and rarely visit the Temple on weekends. Personally, I'm not bothered by this because I am not inclined towards praying or attending leng
...thy Temple services.
My family is currently facing a difficult situation as my father's shoe factory is on the verge of bankruptcy. This has taken a toll on his mental health, leading to severe depression. The rise of Adolf Hitler as Germany's dictator has added to our concerns.
Hitler, with his extremist views, falsely accuses the Jewish community of causing Germany's defeat in World War One and seeks revenge against them. Like many others worldwide, I strongly disapprove of Hitler. His followers, known as Nazis, forcefully shut down our shops in towns and cities.
Although my father has not disclosed the reason behind the closure of his factory, I have a suspicion that it is due to the Nazis. During our evenings at home, I hear my mother tearfully discussing our financial concerns with my father. She fears
that our house may be seized and wonders about its fate. Nonetheless, my dad consistently manages to comfort her and assures her that as long as we stick together, everything will turn out alright. My worry intensifies because these merciless Nazis are relentless murderers who aim to eradicate the Jewish community by any means possible.
