My name is Hanna Michelson. I am 15. I am Latvian.
I live with my mother and grandmother. My father is missing - taken by the Russians.
I have a boyfriend. When he holds my hand, everything feels perfect. I'm training to be a dancer.
But none of that matters now. Because the Nazis have arrived, and I am a Jew. And as far as they are concerned, that is all that matters. This is my story.
