Me and Ben were from Warsaw, Poland. We were two of the lucky ones who actually survived WWII. Now, I’m sure you’d think as being kids, we wouldn’t have really done too much to try and fight the war, but we did. And, we didn’t do it alone neither, we had the help of one of the best partisan groups out there.
“What’s going on, why are they doing this?” Ben asked.
“I don’t know, let’s go and see,” I interjected.

After the war, Ben and I go back to normal life. We never seen our families
