Answer:
"Today I have nothing but dismal and depressing news to report. Our many Jewish friends and acquaintances are being taken away in droves. The Gestapo is treating them very roughly and transporting them in cattle cars to Westerbork, the big camp in Drenthe to which they're sending all the Jews. Miep told us about someone who'd managed to escape from there. It must be terrible in Westerbork. The people get almost nothing to eat, much less to drink, as water is available only one hour a day, and there's no toilet and sink for several thousand people. Men and women sleep in the same room, and women and children often have their heads shaved. Escaped is almost impossible; many people look Jewish, and they're branded by their shorn heads. If it's that bad in Holland, what must it be like in those faraway and uncivilized places where the Germans are sending them? We assume that most of them are being murdered. The English radio says they're being gassed. Perhaps that's the quickest way to die. I feel terrible. Miep's accounts of these horrors are so heart trending... fine specimens of humanity, those Germans, and to think I'm actually one of them! No, that's not true; Hitler took away out nationality long ago. And besides, there are no greater enemies on earth than the Germans and Jews.
