But Mr. Frank looked very young and healthy, and of course the Germans didn’t know how old everybody was who they wanted to gas, but selected them on the basis of their appearance. Someone who looked healthy had to work, but another who might even be younger, but who was sick or looked bad, went directly to the gas chamber.

At midnight, they would wake us up, and then we would get an oliebolletje (a jelly doughnut) and something to drink.
