Frightening indeed. Had this SS made the same thing they did a little later, slaughtering the whole village Eastern front style, my 7 years old mother would have been murdered, and I won't be posting today...

It's an honour for my grand-grandfather, not for my mother who was too young to actively take part in this.

And of course, not for me who wasn't even born. I have no merit, for the same reason why people are not liable for what their ancestors did.

Anyway, it's moving to see this kid at the times, old man now, who wants to leave a testimony in order to honour the memory of the people who hid and saved him during the war.

BTW his name was Baud, and the name of the village is Lacapelle-Biron.

It's high time I talk with my mother about the fate of other family members during the war, starting with my grandparents, should have done this earlier.

@Skip : can you please confirm the righteous thing stands for "justes" and if it's a serious thing ?
