With über efficiency, the victorious Germans began moving 11,000 Home Army insurgents to various prisoner-of-war camps across Poland and Germany within a mere two days of their surrender.
Thank you, Alice, for helping us know a little of your father's dark experiences at the hands of the Germans during the war. I haven't read this much detail from the perspective of a non-Jewish man. And what a beautiful nature he seems to have had...
Thank you, Alice, for another moving chapter, helping us to learn more about your father's experience -- and at such a young age, as you remind us. Like others, I was particularly touched at your point about the casualties of war, the deep losses of family, home, and ordinary daily life.
The question you raise about who is a casualty of war is very provocative. That sort of question can only be asked from deep inside an experience. Thank you.
The weaving together of past and present, the contrast between the narrator and her father at a given age gives this reader much to think about. And language - indeed, what does it mean to be a casualty - such an important question. Again, waiting for next week. Thank you Alice

Oh how I wish I could have met your father.
Poignant, heartfelt, true.
This is incredibly vivid and well written. Not sure I read this in a previous version!
Thank you, Alice, for another story about your lovely father.
"He appreciated that his role was acknowledged and that it was part of history." That part is being forgotten, but your book will help keep it known.
