Catrina: The Holocaust
Chapter 4
The people still stared at Catrina, she was a new arrivel.
Scrambling to a bottom bunk, she sat there staring at the muddied floor, and people began to go back to what they were doing, which was simply lieing with their own despair.
"Hi", said a small voice from above. Catrina twisted and saw a small face peering at her. It was a boy with black hair and blue eyes, very very skinny.
"I'm Keifer, whats your name?", the boy
"I'm Catrina", she replied, "How old are you?"
"Nine you?", enquired Keifer
"Ten", Catrina replied proudly.
Keifer was about to speak when a knock on the door sounded and in stepped the same officer who had been with Catrina. He pointed at a few of the younger children who stood up. They were so skinny it was unbelievable. You could see every tiny bone in their bodys.
"Children strip down, you will all be haveing a shower", the officer comanded, in the same sly voice.
The children stood there for a second then immediatly took of their clothes, to show that underneath was just a walking skeleton, covered in a veil of skin. They were marched out and Catrina never saw them again.
The officer lead the children down to line up into a pit and one after one gun shots where heard and screams of children, running feet and more rapid firing of guns. Then after the screams had ended silence rang out around the grounds. The only sound heard was dead bodys being dragged and a fire crackling.
Catrina stared in shock, watching from a chink in the door. She had seen the children being murdered, it was unbelievable. They had tried to escape and one child got shot whilst running. She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to see Keifer, he was now the only chance she had of a friend, all the other children were too shocked to speak. Sat there all blindly, with their hands clamped to their ears, not wanting to believe....
"Don't worry, there was nothing you could of done", Keifer whispered quietly in her ear and pulled Catrina away from the hole in the door, away from the scenes of molting flesh.
"Why do they do that? What have jews done?",Catrina asked.
"They do it because we are different, they are scared of different people other than them. I dont understand the way the Nazis mind works but they do it for a reason. they think we will take over, Catrina.
We are the problem of Germany, we are the lowest race nothing, I repeat nothing
Can ever change it..." Keifer broke off a single tear trickled down his face and he sat down looking dismall. Catrina just couldnt understand, what could her religion possibly of done wrong?
