[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mojo Jojo: [QB] Well, my maternal grandfather was a pilot in the RAF (Fighter Command) who survived the Battle of Britain and countless other escort missions deep into Nazi Germany. He has what seems like an inexhaustible amount of stories of which nobody ever grows tired - so vividly he tells them. After the war he emigrated to the Netherlands, where he met my maternal grandmother - she was part of the local underground resistance during '43-'45, and provided shelter for a few jews (crawling through the eye of the needle on more than one occasion). She's still in regular contact with their children. My paternal folks are more closed off... they keep their experiences adamently to themselves. I know very little about their backgrounds, but the little bits information I do have aren't pleasant - he was a slave-labourer, she a prisoner in a camp (she hasn't revealed to me [i]which[/i] camp in particular... frankly, the truth scares the hell out of me).
