My dad fought in WWII, in 1993, a few years before he passed away, I learned his unit helped liberate Falkenau, one of the subcamps of Flossenburg concentration camp. I asked him about it. He resolutely refused to talk about it, almost 45 years after the fact. But the look I saw in his eyes told me everything I needed to know.

A great uncle of mine was at the liberation of Bergen-Belsen. It had a profound impact on him and influenced his political activities in Palestine after the war.
