Dear all
Today we leave from the Amstelveense Weg in a transport. Hopefully we stay in Holland. For now I am hopeful and wish the others strength and confidence. Also many thanks for the clothes, that was a surprise. They fit well. I still have all my clothes. We had enough food. And we were seven young people together, all in good spirits. So don't worry about me. Greetings and kiss the family from me.
Ella Kan
PS: I've thought so much about you. Do you still keep in touch with the others?
Bye!!!
