My father was a politician and identified with Hitler’s message. Soon after he joined the party, people started being killed for not recognizing Hitler as God’s gift to man. When my father was killed for not attending a local Hitler rally, my mother and I ran. We hid where we could and luckily we looked Aryan enough to get around without being stopped by the police or questioned by locals. I was very little and life on the run was difficult for my mother. She was a very frail woman physically, but it did not stop her from doing everything she could to protect me. One night, we were hiding in a small area of the woods near the border and a Nazi troupe found us. We didn’t have any paperwork so they took us to their camp until they could find more information on us. My mother was a charming lady so it wasn’t too difficult for her to convince them she could be trusted. When the opportunity arose, we ran, but this time, the Nazis were in pursuit. We found sanctuary with in a local town that had been taken over by Canadian and American troupes. One man took pity on us. His name was Jim Barnes. He was enamoured by my mother and vowed to get us to safety. He hid us away in a small apartment and would visit us as often as he could. When he couldn’t come, he would send his friend Lige. They would bring us food and taught me and my mother English. My mother would sing love songs in German and I would translate them into English for practice. I’m not sure how long we were there, but it felt like an eternity. My mother fell in love with Jim and were soon married. The wedding gave us the opportunity to start a new life on another continent. He was given leave after their wedding to return to Canada, but my mother’s German status prevented us from being able to go with him. While home, he had the local jeweler make this bracelet for my mother. Along with some very convincing forged paperwork, we were ready to escape. Lige was to take us to an airbase where Jim would be waiting and deliver us safely to Canada. I was so scared to leave. I was afraid they would kill us. My mother told me not to worry, that Jim would protect us no matter what. We were ambushed when we arrived at the plane. Jim was shot and killed trying to distract them. Lige took on the responsibility of getting us safely to Canada. He set us up in his cabin, and made sure we were fed and clothed. The difficult escape and loss of her new husband turned out to be too much for my frail mother. She held out until Lige’s enlistment ended. After she passed, Lige got me a job working at this club.
