We lived in Brussels the capital city of Belgium At home we spoke Yiddish but in the streets we spoke French For months the newspapers had been warning about the possibility of a German attack My parents didn't hide the dangers from us We knew how the Nazis treated Jewish families like ours Taking their possessions beating them humiliating them and sending them to concentration camps And now on May 10 1940 the Nazi army and air force had invaded our country 6
