PART TWOOOOO

Dang go Benita go

That poor horse. I’ve already cried. It is so sad to see what everyone endured after the war in Germany, specifically the people who did not support the Nazi’s.

And now the long prologue makes sense

I kinda hate Marianne’s obsession with Connie ngl

Hearing about the executions for the Jewish people in Germany from a German woman’s point of view is absolutely insane. And how they really didn’t know what was going on. She thought they were going to make a new home in Poland… Like that’s crazy to me. She didn’t believe that they were getting killed until someone literally saw it with their eyes and told her about it.

I spoke to you soon. Seems like she does agree with it.

It’ll be so scary to be the wife of someone planning an assassination. Especially when you didn’t fully agree with it. I couldn’t imagine being Marianne.

“‘The Commander of wives and children’, Connie had called her. The words had seemed demeaning to her at the time— exclusion from the real business of conspiring, a reminder that she was, in the end, a woman, and therefore relegated to the work of picking up the pieces. But in the year, since she had come to understand his words differently, she was the last man standing, the decoy left holding the key.”
