In order to be able to connect events and experiences chronologically and to understand the circumstances of tragic events I must provide some background - beginning almost from the cradle.
And so:
There were times of low morale, times of doubt in my life. There were days of happiness, beautiful days. There were years of cruel human tragedy and destruction which I now want to immortalise as that historical document for which it is never too late.
Before I come to this I will explain certain matters.
I was just thirteen years and eight months old when Nazi Germany attacked our country. Not yet a young woman, but no longer a child.
And it is from that particular time that the "second period" of my life begins. The time when, from a girl, I quickly became an adult by sheer necessity dictated by the part which Fate played in my life.
