65 years later


A grandson wanted to know who his grandfather was and why nobody spoke about him. Could he have been a Nazi criminal? After years of research, Klaus Häusler* (b. 1969) finally learned the truth about him in 2010. Klaus’ grandmother had fallen in love with a French prisoner of war. When her pregnancy became known, he was imprisoned in a camp. He returned home in 1945. Sixty-five years later, the French and German family members met and developed a deep affection for one another.
