For me I knew that my granddad had been injured during the war (even if he died ebfore I was born), but no oen ever talked about the war. Injured was the only thing I knew, and that my grandmother had taken the kids and fled during a bomraid. More was never said. Not something they wanted to discuss<br /><br /><br />Ana<br />Try it!

Reading about war shakes me to my core, my Dad who is sadly gone now, was in the end of WWII and he rarely talked about it but when he did there were often tears in his eyes. He was part of the Air Force that flew many of the emaciated barely alive jewish prisoners out of the war camps-he had seen such atrocities that I don't think he ever really got over it.<br /><br />I think there is just so much ugliness in the world right now that I prefer my fictional romance-paranormal, if you please!Kristi The Book Faeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06198548056627373947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-10021114416678523302012-02-14T20:41:33.967+02:002012-02-14T20:41:33.967+02:00Carole
