since sunday only inhabitants of the fortress hill may come and go there. jews may not leave bpest. all trains, boats, streetcars have to wait at city limits until gestapo men with the help of our own police men look at identification cards. jews are taken off all vehicles. tonights alert seems to have ended.

the pawnshops are full with work, it seems the jews realized only now that their property is in danger, they are pawning silver, jewels and persian rugs. heaps of them. safes are closed before everybody, jew or gentiles just the same. some jews are trying to get hungarian officers to room in their apartments. it will be late, though, i think enforcement of g. laws will turn them out of their places.
march 30, 1944, thursday
the g. propaganda in the hungarian radio told us that hungary has decided its fate, hundred percent! they did not ask me neither any of my friends or acquaintances. pray, who was it, who made the decision?...new \legislation\ began today by a new definition of being a jew or not....no gentile servants can work for jews any more. others to follow.

1. how does the author organize their thoughts according to the passage?

1. what can be inferred about the atmosphere in budapest during these events?

Explanation:

Sub - question 1

The author organizes thoughts in a chronological (time - order) way. Each entry is dated (March 21, 22, 28, 30, 1944), and within each date, events and observations of that day are recorded. This is a diary format, so the author uses a temporal sequence, starting from earlier dates and moving to later ones, with each day's entry containing daily activities, news, and concerns.

The atmosphere in Budapest is tense and fearful. Evidence includes Jews being rounded up, movement restrictions (only Fortress hill inhabitants can move freely, transportation checks), Jews pawning property (fearing loss), new anti - Jewish laws (no gentile servants for Jews), and the author's worry for friends. There's a sense of oppression due to the German occupation and the enforcement of discriminatory laws, creating an atmosphere of anxiety and uncertainty.

Answer:

The author organizes thoughts chronologically (in time - order) through dated diary entries. Each entry (March 21, 22, 28, 30, 1944) records daily events, news, and personal concerns, following the sequence of days.
