A Huge Allied Assault of the most important bridges by Arnhem and Nijmegen took place on September 17, 1944..." Says Mrs. Helena to her grandson, Jeroen. One day as Jeroen was digging through some old things in his grandmothers attic he had noticed some old news papers that were dated back in the 40's and an old Jewish star. He had gone and asked his grandmother what the papers said, he couldn't read them because it was in German. When he asked about the star Helena had told him that the star had belonged to her best friend because she was a Jew. She had started to tell Jeroen about the Nazi war, about how a crazy guy called Hitler was trying to take over. Helena had also mentioned to Jeroen that her dad worked for the German police, meaning that her dad was the one who took her best friend from her and sent her to a concentration camp. In a way this story had really helped me, because normally when you hear about the Nazi war in Germany it is usually always from a Jewish persons point of view, never from a German person. It was based off the point of view of the Grandma that had lived through that time but all she had to deal with was losing her best friend to the Nazis. But seeing as Helena didn't want to remember it she had never really mentioned this to her grandson, thus making that the Family Secret.
