    The evil nazis destroyed so many families, so many dreams. It's always heartbreaking watching stories like that.

      There was a lot of Jews who came to Australia after WW2 as it was about as far from Germany/Europe that you can get. when one elderly man died, 1990's what they found was sad. He was always single and ran his own business. They discovered he had small properties spread around Melbourne. All stocked with supplies and hidden cash inside. He must have been paranoid always ready to run to one of his hideouts if anything started.

      The photo background where they are happy looks like Berlin. Did they ever live and work there or just pass through? Lots of people from Königsberg in that generation came and settled in Berlin. Ah maybe they just had a nice visit to Berlin or their city architecture was similar. I will watch the other videos. So where did Arno disappear? 🤔
