Isaac Lyman Taylor: June 14, 1863

After resting & taking a lunch we resume our march & at 2 P.M. cross Aquia Creek and encamp about a mile or two beyond. It has been very warm & many cases of "sun-stroke" occur. I don't recolect of ever seeing so many "sun-struck" and "fagged out" on a march. I stand the march "first rate" Among those "fagged out" are many officers.

Reina Spiegel: June 14, 1942

It’s dark, I can’t write. Panic in the city. We fear a pogrom; we fear deportations. Oh God Almighty! Help us! Take care of us; give us your blessing. We will persevere, Zygus and I, please let us survive the war. Take care of all of us, of the mothers and children. Amen.

Renia Spiegel began her diary in January 1939 at the age of 15.

On Friday a whole village in Czechoslovakia was burned. Rifles, ammunition and a Schafft-sender was found by the Germans. All the men were put together and shot. The women and children were sent to the concentration camps. Everyday the shooting of civilians is going on. Received letter from Annie saying my mate has been wounded in India through shrapnel.
