excerpt from the novel "Violets Time:
DP camps (displaced persons = homeless people) were called camp, housed in the survivors from the concentration camps were before they emigrated.
met in such a camp again, Sara, and Lena.
No, that was not quite right. After liberation by the Allies had Lena and Sara medically treated in different camps as they were both suffering from severe diarrhea. By registering where they could be merged later.
The now 21-year Sara had survived as only one of the great Jewish family, the now 8-year-old Lena is the only descendant. Like all people here, they enjoyed the freedom, the redemption of a period of unimaginable cruelty and of course about the meeting.
But Sarah was no longer of old Sara, Lena is no longer the carefree child of the past. The rhythm of life and death had hit for them on a more intense drum.
Lena asked repeatedly why they had survived. Perhaps because of the crazy guard who could not have children, but wish fervently that, it confuses dream and reality, and the blond-haired, Lena-eyed from the moment we saw it as their own. Maybe because in the fantasy again fled to another world where you could not harm the evil where it became the all-powerful figure and the Nazis to miserable mini-creatures that they trampled on the ground like vermin.
