    Good Morning Otto,
  ============================ 
  Very well stated, I couldn't agree with you more!
  
"My four siblings and I buried our mother in Nov. 1945, weeks short of  her 43rd birthday. Our father had been picked up early on and transported off into the unknown. We dug the grave, I built a casket, we read some Bible passages and in silent prayer thanked God to have relieved our mother of her suffering.
  My older sister was not yet 17, the youngest was 6, I was 15.
  And here I must quote from your writing "the young boy still lives with his memories".
   
  The location of this scene is the city graveyard in Kreuzburg, Kreis Preussish Eylau, East Prussia. (Today Slawscoe, Kaliningradskaja Oblast, Russia) The town that I was born in and raised to the age of 14.
  The time frame: After nearly 10 months of life under a political system that previous propaganda had hailed as The  Workers Paradise.
