Dear Grandmother,
how are you doing? How is grandfather? Are you enjoying there in Berlin? I really miss you. I hate it here, the new house is so quiet and boring without you and my friends.
This house stands all on its own in an empty,desolate place and there are no other houses anywhere to be seen which means there would be no other boys to play with. I am alone.
Two days ago one of the servants, Pavel, helped me build a swing. A couple of hours later I fell off it and the swing hit me on the head and I nearly fainted, but then he came out and brought me in and cleaned it all up and put a bandage on me; it stung very badly but I didn’t cry. He is very kind with me and he told me that before coming here he was a doctor! I was so confused: I asked him why he came here to be a servant when he has the abilities of a doctor? That was very strange and I still can’t understand it.
Anyway, I miss my exploration times when we were in the old house, there were lots of things that still need to be discover. One day, when I was much more bored than the other days I went behind the house where It’s forbidden to walk there. When I went there I saw a big forest and I started to run and to search something interesting! A bit further away I saw a big fence. I immediately went there and there were some people (children too) without hair that were wearing grey striped pyjamas and a hut too. They were working toughly. It was awkward: why do I have to stay here alone? Isolated by everyone?
Father told Gretel and me that we don’t have to go to school because everyday Herr Liszt (our teacher) will come here and teach us. I don’t like him. He just talk about history and history and history. I hate this subject. I want to study geography but he doesn’t want to. He said that history tells us about past events that happened in our world, without it we wouldn’t be here. It’s so boring!
Hope to hear from you soon,
your loving grandson,
Bruno
