She told me her Jewish neighbours were taken away. No description, just a statement. One of the very few things she said about her war experience.

Aunt’s father was one of the kids stuffed into uniforms and given guns once the allies started taking german territory. Dude was barely four foot in his 80’s recalled being captured by a US platoon, all of them HUGE in comparison. He spoke no english and they spoke no german. Freely admits he pissed himself.
Aunts mother complains about the rats. Always the rats. Only spoke of the actual nazi tenure once, when very drunk. Friends, neighbours, people were disappearing and everyone knew why but no one said or did anything. She broke down in tears. “We were so stupid”
