General Discussion

The night before the family was sent to the camp, the father rang my Grandfathers door and asked if he could leave a chest of family stuff. My Grandfather let him leave the chest in a closet. And forgot about it. 4 years later the neighbor returned and my a grandfather gave him back the chest. The man had put money, jewelry and family photos. When he opened it everything was there untouched and the neighbor cried because all his stuff was there. Though the years they kept in touch and when my grandfather died the man and his family came to the funeral and told this story. This was in 1979 and I had never heard of internment camps.

And I would do the same thing to help someone I knew if they were in the same situation.
