Diaries
Reina Spiegel:June 19, 1942
God saved Zygus. Oh, I’m beside myself. They were taking people away all night long. They rounded up 1,260 boys. There are so many victims, fathers, mothers, brothers. Forgive us our trespasses, listen to us, Lord God! This was a terrible night, too terrible to describe. But Zygus was here, my sweet one, sweet and loving. It was so good; we cuddled and kissed endlessly. It really was so delightfully pleasant that it was worth all the suffering. But sometimes I think it isn’t worth it, that a loving woman has to pay too high a price. You will help me, Bulus and God.
—Renia Spiegel began her diary in January 1939 at the age of 15.

George Beck: June 19, 1944
No English news. German newspaper talks about nothing but their new invention, the flying bomb. It says London has been bombed day and night by these remote controlled bombs, people in underground shelters for thirty-six hours. Two days ago Morrison said that this is the resource for Germany same as the ‘Big Bertha’ last war. Paris is the place they are sent from.
—George Beck,1st Battalion The Duke of Wellington's Regiment, prisoner of war (diary)
Tatsusei Yogi: June 19, 1945
We found that staying in the drainpipe was more comfortable than we first thought. We saw many people heading toward Komesu, but we could not safely go there in the daylight. Chiyo insisted that we go to Itoman, so after we ate we headed there. But we changed our minds and went to the seashore and slept there. It was so quiet and many refugees were there.
—Tatsusei Yogi was a Japanese civilian in Okinawa.
