Thanks for the Company

Breslau, Germany, 1944. This fellow was among the refugees with whom Mom rode in the cattle car as she fled Lithuania. Here they are in Brelsau. When the travelers dispersed to different Displaced Persons camps, the man gave this photo to Mom as a memento.

Respite for the Refugees

When My Mom and my maternal Grandfather, Jake, fled Lithuania, they traveled for two weeks in the box car of a refugee train. The train headed west. Mom and Jake first stopped in the city of Breslau. Breslau was something of a refugee hub during the last year of the war.

Every Sunday, we make a promenade.
