October 14, 1944 was a small taste of hell for me. I was eight. Our house got hit by an incendiary bomb. At age twenty-one, I came to live in the USA. I realized the reasons for the war and got rid of all animosities.

"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."Winston Churchill
