wow germany. that sounds so cool. 8U

My second surname was one of those given to orphans a few centuries ago.
There are so many people with that surname that is not related to me at all.

But my first one, well, it's quite rare so it's hard to find people with that surname who are not my close family.

Wow that’s really cool, to have this kind of history.

Pretty much everyone who did not obey blindly was put into concentration camps.
It's just that Jews were put there for the mere fact of being Jews, while others had a chance at proving their loyalty.


My uncle's parents were at concentration camps.
Back in that time, many Spanish people run from Franco (Franco in Spain, Mussolini in Italy and Hitler in Germany were all children of the same madness) to France - only to being caught there by WWII.

She had been in jail here (for political reasons) and was into political movements there too, so she soon saw herself into a concentration camp.
She was already ready for the gas chamber, cause she quite sick at the time, when the Resistance stormed the camp and fred them all.
She even testified in the Nuremberg trials.

I hardly remember her (she died when I was a child) but I do remember him very well, and I was very very surprised when I learned of their past.

woww. the only historical thing i know about my family is my paternal aunt's husband, he was in the Vietnam War, fighting in Vietnam. He was thrown into jail a few times from what I hear. I guess afterwards he immigrated to America, he was a Vietnamese fighting against the Vietnamese? So he was fighting on the American side but as a Viet.

iunno if i would do well with a bloody situation. my own blood, yeah i might be fine with that. someone elses? totally different story. xD

ahh, not me, i'm more into sunshine and rainbows. even though i avoid the sun. 8U
