1. What was it like suddenly being looked down upon by the people who had once accepted who you were?
2. Did you ever think the Germans would invade where you were in the Netherlands?
3. What was it like leaving the home you grew up in, and leaving the people you had grown to to know?
4. Did you ever think you would see your brother and aunts again? Or did you know they were gone?
5. Were you scared of being captured in hiding and after coming out of it, and did you fear that you'd never see any of your family ever again?
