January 1, 1943Dear Diary,
My name is Maria Kislyak. I was born on March 21, 1916. I'm a Ukraine Jew and i fear the end is coming very soon. I am the lady on the left. Man good times. that picture was taken 3 years after i was secretly married to the man on the right. His name is Ludolf von Alvensleben. It was very hard to keep our marriage quiet. He was the head of the SS. He was born in 1910. Sadly enough to say this relationship was not meant to go this far. I was just supposed to get to know him and be good friends with him while keeping my religion a secret. I realized i was in love with him 2 years after my first meeting with him. I was 26 when we married. Ludolf had come from a lower blood line of noble Germans. He was born in Berlin and became the head of the SS in 1942. There is one good thing about being a wife of the SS officer, sometimes i can sneak Jews into my home and they would never suspect. I would just say they were servants. I must go the husband has requested my presents with Hiedler. Peace be with you.
