Dear Cousin Peppe, My mother found all the letters!!!!! I had them safely hid in a trunk downstairs where I thought she would never find them because she never looks there, but I guess she was cleaning it out and found all the letters! She came running upstairs yelling about something and then I saw all the letters in her hands and I said, "Why do you have those?" She just freaked out! She said "You are never going to see or talk to Peppe ever again!" She went on and on about it for hours! So this is my last letter to you for a while maybe when things cool off I will be able to write again but until then I cannot. I am so sorry that our letters have to end this way and I am extremely sorry that I have ruined this for us. But don’t worry everything will be fine. I wish you all the best in everything you do and maybe I will be able to talk to you again in the future. Tell you family I say hello and that I hope some day soon we can get past our differences and move on to being a happy family again.

Sincerely, Cousin Emma

Dear Cousin Emma, That is really great to hear that you are going to join the adult group too. Maybe we can share ideas about politics and government to help our countries agree with each other more. That is good to hear that Hitler is a nice man. I think the same way about his moustache. It is quite funny if you ask me! Don’t worry that doesn’t sound horrible because I find it funny too. I think it is intimidating to talk to anyone with that power. I know if my mother found those letters she sure would have punished me and probably tell you parents as well about this. She doesn’t understand how important communication with my family is to me. She only cares about not liking your mother. It makes me very upset when I can’t talk to my family and she doesn’t even care. All she cares about is herself and no one else. Well I can’t complain too much about that because she does keep the house clean and put food on the table. I love running and it really helped me out when my mother was going to find the letters. Right now, you are the only family I am talking to. My mother messed up our relationships with the rest of the family. It is very frustrating sometimes. Well I have a meeting to get ready for. Talk to you soon! Sincerely, Cousin Peppe

Dear Cousin Peppe, It would be really nice for our countries to work together as one it could maybe make us a really strong empire which would benefit us both. That’s so great that you got to share the ideas you have with Mussolini and that you get to tell him what you think about the government and everything. I am also planning on joining the adult group to continue to share my ideas and help my government and economy. Hitler is also a very nice man, he is a little scary to talk to though and I know this sounds horrible but his mustache makes me laugh. Oh, man that would have been horrible if your mother saw our letters it is lucky that you are a fast runner otherwise we would have had a huge problem. I would have been so upset if I had lost communication with you because you are the only one who understands why I like going to meeting and being involved. Well I have a youth meeting so I will talk to you later! Sincerely, Cousin Emma

Dear Cousin Emma, I am very excited that we will be seeing each other soon and it will be great to see the family again. The Roman-Berlin Axis will hopefully be the extra push our countries need to cooperate and work together as one. There will be fewer conflicts and there can be a stronger empire and economy. I went to another rally and I got to talk to Mussolini again. It was really great talking to him because I got to share my ideas about the government and economy. Well of course I didn’t say anything bad because there is nothing bad to say about the government and economy. I also talked to him about the Roman-Berlin Axis and told him I thought it was a great idea. I can’t wait to be an adult citizen in Fascist Italy so I could study politics and government. When I become an adult, I am going to join the adult group so I can continue to learn and train in the political and governmental fields. Mussolini is a very nice man. Even though he intimidates me, I love talking to him. He is very intelligent and a strong speaker. I would love to hear what Hitler is like and how he comes across to you. When I came home from school today, I saw my mother heading out to get the mail! It was very close but I was able to get to the mail before she did. I was so afraid that she would find your letter and we would lose communication. Good thing I am a fast runner! Well I should start my homework now. Talk to you soon! Sincerely, Cousin Peppe

Dear Cousin Peppe, Yes I also think that you being a friend from school is a better idea and we most definitely need to pick a date for you to come to Germany. No I didn’t hear that they signed an agreement recently. I think that agreement also sounds really great and if they work together that would be so great for our families. We would be able to be close again like we used to be before our mothers began to fight. I know and I haven’t seen your family either I miss hanging out with all of them and hangout with you too. We always had so much fun together, and I know our moms loved hanging out. Well I have to get ready for my meeting talk to you soon! Sincerely, Cousin Emma

Dear Cousin Emma, I think that being a friend from school is a better idea; I guess I wasn’t paying attention of what I was writing when I said that I would be someone from the Hitler Youth. We will have to come up with a date where I will come to Germany for a while. Did you hear that Hitler and Mussolini signed an agreement recently? It is called the Roman- Berlin Axis. The Roman-Berlin Axis was created to pledge mutual military cooperation between Mussolini’s and Hitler’s empires. I think that the Roman-Berlin Axis is a great agreement to have between Germany and Italy. Hopefully Mussolini and Hitler will work together to create a really strong empire. That would be really great because our mothers would be able to agree and our families can be close again. We will be able to see each other without disobeying our parents. I think that if Hitler and Mussolini eventually side together it will be great for the economy and empire. It will also be great for our family. That would be so great to see your family again. I haven’t seen them since I was 5 and I would love to see how everyone has changed. It is time for me to go to my Youth Group meeting. I am so excited to see what happens with Hitler and Mussolini. Talk to you soon! Sincerely, Cousin Peppe Dear Cousin Peppe, Thank you so much for that wonderful advice and I think that you are right that this is the dream I want to live out and that I should continue to go to Hitler’s meetings in the hope that my father might accept it one day, which is what I would really love. I think that it is a wonderful idea! I would love for you to come see a rally with me. But I think that maybe you should come as one of my new friends from school instead of from the Hitler youth because my father doesn’t approve of me going to the Hitler meetings so it would be better for everyone is you just new to my school or something like that. So let me know what you think of that idea. My mother has also been trying to convince my father to let me go to the rallies and meetings but he really just won’t budge. But like I said before I still having been going to the meetings even though he disapproves. Off to school! Talk to you soon. Sincerely, Cousin Emma

Dear Cousin Emma, I am very sorry to hear that your father has found out about you being Emmett. I think it is a real shame to hear that your father won’t let you do what you want and live out one of your dreams. I know that you feel really bad disobeying your father but sometimes you have to go against the rules to get what you truly want. I believe that if your father doesn’t let you do something you really want and it isn’t a bad thing, you should continue going to the Hitler Youth meetings. Yes, that would be disobeying your father but it also allows you to follow your dreams. Oh yes, I have forgotten! I have to tell you about my plan for me to come and see you in Germany for one of Hitler’s rallies. I will tell my mother and father that my school is taking a long fieldtrip to see Mussolini’s rallies and speeches. Then I will buy a train ticket to come see you in Germany but I will dress up and make myself into another person so your parents won’t recognize me. You can say that I am a new part of the Hitler Youth and we could go see a rally together. We can do the same thing with you as well whenever we have time. Please let me know what you think of this idea and if you think it will work or not. I don’t feel very good about lying to my parents but I think it will be worth it. Dinner is ready! Talk to you soon. Sincerely, Cousin Peppe Dear Cousin Peppe, I also believe that the Hitler adult groups and youth groups are very similar. I am so glad that you are okay that my brother knows about the letters and don’t worry I wont let my mother find out that would be really bad. That is so awesome that you got to actually talk to Mussolini at his rallies I would love to come see one of his rallies to compare it to one of Hitler’s rallies. So I have some not so great news. My father found out about me pretending to be a guy to be in Hitler’s youth group and he got pretty upset. He thinks that if you are born as a girl then you should not pretend to be a boy. Even if it is only for my youth group. He got really upset and told me that I couldn’t pretend to be a guy anymore and that if he found out that I was doing it that he would not let me leave the house. I have no idea what to do I have continuing to still go to the youth groups being Emmett but I feel horrible disobeying my fathers wishes and I just don’t know what to do. Please give me some advice I am lost. I have to go my mother just got home I will talk to you soon.

Sincerely, Emma
