Unfortunately, that part of the story is not told in he U.S. When I tell some of it in the history classes I teach for a junior college, students sit there with their mouths open. I had one woman read a book on the treatment of Germans after the war, and when she gave her report in class she cried.<br /><br />You mentioned your mom thought her sister died in captivity. Was she taken to Russia? Many thousands (millions?) of German civilians were, and many never returned.<br /><br />I have written an article on some of these issues of postwar treatment of people. If you are interested in reading it let me know and I will email it to you.<br /><br />A book you might be interested in by a German woman is "Eva's War."<br /><br />WarrenWarren Baldwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17956713921509659993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040637906375872170.post-90466092740466044712010-06-02T14:03:28.505-06:002010-06-02T14:03:28.505-06:00I compare her to my mother-in-law with her experie...I compare her to my mother-in-law with her experiences and I marvel at the strength these women had.<br />May God dontinut to bless you by her memory.Anneliesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10288355284573379421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040637906375872170.post-71242938812951401582010-06-02T13:43:51.633-06:002010-06-02T13:43:51.633-06:00Thanks for the beautiful tribute mom.
