September 3rd, 1927(During the Dictatorship of Benito Mussolini)
Life for me is not easy. I am just a poor Italian peasant women living in a world of Dictators and extremism. My husband works like a dog to support our family, but it is to no avail. His wages are cut in half by the government and Benito Mussolini. Il Duce, as we call him, the dictator of Italy. He controls almost every aspect of our lives. Whether it be religion, leisure, and even are day to day social interactions. As painful as it is to say extremism in necessary. In places such as Italy there was no balance before men such as Il Duce came here. We need a strong authoritarian government to rule us. It is not all bad. The people now have more pride i their country. Yes we are sacrificing a lot of our freedom, but in the end in I value security and stability more than freedom.
You do not have it bad, I have it bad. As a young Austrian woman my life has turned completely upside down. Teens my age are begging for food! Begging! My family is soon to be effected. Luckily my parents both have jobs but only at the moment. We can survive under Hitler's wrath for only so long.
