NOTES FROM GIRL X
2 March 1944
 
To the people of Paris!
Today, I speak to those of you who are young like me. Do you love someone with all your heart and soul, as Girl X loves J?
If you do, you will understand. I want him to undress me with more than just his eyes. I want him to touch every inch of my flesh. I burn. If you are young and in love, you know what I am feeling as I approach my seventeenth birthday. If you have forgotten, I pity you. And I think that perhaps Girl X, a Jewish girl, is freer than you are.
