"31 December 1941. There has been no light in the shelter for
about a week and a half. There’s no heating. We sit in the dark with
primitive oil-lamps. Still we don’t feel too bad and intend to celebrate
the New Year. I pasted together a small tree from craft paper. I am
making decorations for it from gold paper. The best thing would be to
hang it from the ceiling."
