The Stolen Ones

My name is Inge. I am sixteen.

I live with Mama and Papa in Munich. Food is still rationed, though the war ended over ten years ago.

 

My boyfriend is Jewish. I have to hide this from my parents.

 

Sometimes I think they are hiding something from me, too. Letters arrive every year on my birthday, but they are not addressed to me.

 

They are for a girl named Kasia.

 

This is her story.
