Some people take life for granted and that nothing can happen to them. Think again...your lives could change in an instant.
Take my Dutch Grandparents for an example. My Oma (grandmother) was 16 when the Nazis invaded Holland. They took over her home, forced she and her family into something similar to slavery. Because her family was a "good Catholic" family they were saved from persecution. When asked if she was scared during that time, she surprisingly answered "No". She had to cook, clean, and do their laundry for them. Oma was a very brave soul; she used to do nasty, nasty things to their food!!! It surprised me because if she would've been caught, she would've never made it to adulthood and my mother wouldn't be here today. As for my Opa (grandfather) he was in the Dutch Resistance. He would go around planting homemade bombs on German vehicles.
If you ever want to learn a little about your family history ask, you might learn something fascinating.
