It’s so great your grandfather was able to get through the pain and tell his story. There are many who just won’t/can’t talk for various reasons so their stories may never be told.

I can understand people who will/can not tell their stories because it’s too traumatic. My uncle was in WWII and flew bombing missions from England, over France, and on to Germany. One time, his plane was shot down over France. He somehow got back to England – but he would NEVER talk about *any* of his war experiences because of whatever trauma he went through in France to survive.

I’m sure my uncle’s trauma was minuscule compared to the trauma camp victims endured.

I’m very happy to read about men and women who are able to draw the strength from within to tell of experiences so we should NEVER go through anything like this again!

Thanks for sharing.
