Kamma and Klara were best friends. Klara recalls: "In the summer we went to the Tivoli amusement park every day. Until two o’clock it was only fifteen cents. In the picture we are thirteen. The photo was taken in 1943."
”Dear Kamma, we have been taken by German police. Notify my school. Greetings from Klara."
