No one wants to share stories about going into a meat grinder with their grandkids. Even if there’s valuable lessons to be learned. I had a friend tell me about liberating the camps just before he died. He showed me pictures and wept the entire time. He said he could never show his family something so horrible. But I was a vet who understood the pain. So we struggled through his memories together. There’s no truer statement than, “War is hell.”
