''My Birthday" -My Testimony Poem from Salvaged pages from the diary of Elisabeth Kaufmann

Today I am 16 
Ive never been alone on my own on my birthday before
Ive never had such a sad birthday 
Everyone is scattered around and no one is with me
Dad is in camp, along with peter as well
Mother has accepted a job right outside of paris 
The grandparents are in Vienna 
Every year we celebrated my birthday somewhat 
I cooked my own birthday meal
Sitting alone in the kitchen 
I am sad
-Elisabeth Kaufmann
