Margot and I started packing our most important belongings into a satchel.
The first thing I stuck in was this diary, and then curlers, handkerchiefs, schoolbooks, a comb and some old letters.
Preoccupied by the thought of going into hiding, I stuck the craziest things in the satchel, but Iām not sorry.
Memories mean more to me than dresses.
