Incredible recall of a tragic time in history.

Walter Reed lived an incredible life, made so by the tragic events of World War II and he recalls the details of his escape from Nazi Germany as part of the Children of Lahille. I was very impressed by the detail of all the children, even the period of time after Walter’s escape to America. This book, these stories, exhibits once again the resiliency of the human soul, especially that of children. I feel more aware of the true plight of those who risked their young lives to survive of the evil of their day.
I met Walter once at his home in Evanston IL, when he was 92. I had arranged for him to participate in my project, Generation Gapped-Listening, Learning & Telling The Stories of Another Generation. He was going to be interviewed by eight local high school students and turned into a curriculum pilot video. He died before the interview came to fruition.
