Edith's story is written by Edith Velmans and I have read 180/238.


Edith is...

• Energetic

She skates during the winter. During the summer she rows, sails, swims. The whole year round she cycles.

• Selfish (she calls herself) 

"Guilty, I thought it was probably my fault, because I was so selfishly preoccupied with my own life" (Velmans 30)

• Positive

"'The war's going to be over soon, you'll see." (Velmans 100)

• Courages

"Carefully I started removing the yellow stars from all the articles of clothing we were taking with us" (Velmans 99). You were not supposed to take the star of your clothes, if you did you would be punished.

"'Courage. I know you have lots of it. Always look for the sunshine.'" (Velmans 148)
