The Holocaust Diary

First Entry

January 30,1933

My name is Friedrich Krebs. I am a 29-year-old free-lance journalist. I write about all things happening in Germany, and then sell them to newspapers and magazines all over the world. I am the only son of a World War 1 hero, and my mother who idolizes me. I am divorced with one son who resides with his mother. I’m young, blonde, blue-eyed, strong, and pure German. I’m what you would consider Hitler ideal German to be. Rather than believing in the Weimar republic, I believe in democracy. I consider the Weimar republic to be week and helpless. I do not like what these groups of thugs who call themselves “Nazis” are trying to do. I mean they are trying to
I walk into the stadium. There are so many people but not just Germans other nationalities are here to cheer on their country. I feel as if everywhere like they were watching my every move. I also notice some American reporters were also there, maybe this is my chance to get out to the world about what was happening here. The people here would know nothing about what’s going on here because Hitler had all the propaganda posters taken down and the cities cleared of anything that would alert the people from other countries. I hope I could have a chance of speaking with one of the U.S reporter but its not going to be easy with all the SS officers around watching. If they see me attempting to talk to the reporters I will be arrested and punished maybe even killed. I have decided that trying to talk to the reporters would be too risky so I will not try and talk to them. Because if I get arrested I would leave my girlfriend who is Jewish alone and could possibly get taken away, and my father would find out that I was going against Hitler and he believes in what Hitler is doing. If I got caught it could also put my family in danger who knows what Hitler would do with
I look outside and see all Jewish businesses being burned down, or severely damaged. Not only are their businesses being destroyed they are being pulled out from their homes a lot of the times dragged out and beaten. The Nazi mobs were vicious towards them worse than ive seen before sometimes beating the Jews in the city by the hundreds. I have a choice to make, do I try and save my girlfriend and risk being caught or do I just give her up to them and never see her again. I can’t do that to her I need to find a place for her to hide a place they would never think to look here. The mob is almost to my house I have to think quickly or I will loose her to those monsters. I told her to go outback and under the stairs outside there’s an opening she would be safe there. I had no intention of telling Goebbels to see if he could help because he was the one that put in the newspaper to do this so all he would do is turn me in. as I started to calm door I hear a knock at my door but there was no shouting I open it and before my eyes was a family, a Jewish family that had escaped and asked for my help. I had to think but think quickly cause the mob was only down the street, so I told them to go where I had told my girlfriend to o and wait till I came and got them. The mob was finally at my door they asked if I had any Jews in here I said no. The people barged in and started to raid my home
