She was lucky also to have survived the Russians, who went on a rape spree in conquered territory during the last months of the war.Nico Van Thynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072351355184106484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5125402567351329247.post-73539961741724891342014-11-13T00:46:34.031-06:002014-11-13T00:46:34.031-06:00From Sylvia Pesek: Definitely sharing.

I don’t understand why they didn’t give the women some clean clothes straightaway.<br />Hard to believe your mother was one of only about 10 left after starting the Death March with so many. This is a good reminder of how special the U.S. and its people were and are, and how there is probably no nation on earth who would have treated your mother and her companions in a manner such as this. It’s not as good as it was then, however, but it’s still good.Nico Van Thynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072351355184106484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5125402567351329247.post-89161014476635389332014-11-12T23:33:21.378-06:002014-11-12T23:33:21.378-06:00From Frank Thaxton III: I always loved seeing my O...From Frank Thaxton III: I always loved seeing my Oma Ro.
