==Plot==
This book follows the alleged diary of a 12-year-old boy named Dirk Van Der Heide as he recalled his memory of the bombing in Rotterdam, Holland in May 1940. The story starts off with Dirk talking to the readers about why he is writing his diary. He says “I don’t like to think about the war, but the Captain says people ought to know what it’s really like so that they won’t let it happen any more”.〔My Sister and I: The Diary of a Dutch Boy Refugee, Dirk van der Heide, Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1941.〕 He claims not to remember everything that happened when the Nazis came but he is going to try to recall the events.
Dirk is traveling with his sister Keetje to America, escaping the war. They are leaving Holland because their father is fighting in the war and their mother was killed in a bombing. He continues on to describe what happened when he first heard about the German invasion. He remembers waking up in the night hearing explosions and people shouting under his window. He remembers how chaotic things were before and after the bombings. He then talks about his positive experiences with the British.
