For some good news. During the second WW. War my Dad served as a Red Cross first aid giver, but that was a cover for his work in the "underground" as our home was used as an under ground railroad that allowed Jewish people to escape the Nazis'. Also, maybe the Nazis' knew something, my Dad was pick-up twice to be transferred to labour camps. He escaped both times. Good news on both accounts indeed!
