The Rosiers have set up a secret space in the roof where I can hide. Every evening I remove the wooden plank in the wall behind Johannes’s bed and I go into this small space. Then I replace the wooden plank from the inside so no one can find me. This is the safest place for me.

One time I was making butter and heard the farm dog barking like crazy. I looked outside and didn’t see anything. But the dog wouldn’t stop barking. I looked again and saw bicycles and then realised they were German soldiers. I bolted to my hiding place upstairs and shut myself in there until Mr Rosier saw them off. I survived another close call.
