- 1943, January 6, Wednesday midday – I myself am extremely handicapped if I do the shopping. In a bakery I was refused bread, even though the ban refers only to wheat products—obviously because of the salesgirl’s fear and stupidity, not because of malice—but it was nevertheless painful for me. I was completely unable to come by any matches; once Reichenbach gave me a dozen loose as a present, once Frau Eisenmann gave me a box. Here I gave an onion in return. On the other hand I was very touched when, in a Paschky shop on Blumenstrasse, I found Krone, the same salesclerk who had been my friend at Plauen station near Dolzschen. **p186
