More on Joseph Heinrich

     Sorry it has been a while since my last post, I’ve been kind of busy and haven’t had the time. 

         anyway…

                   when I last left off, Joseph and the group of children had just gotten off the train to find a committee of photographers and journalists who asked a series of questions about life in Germany.

   If I were Joseph I probably wouldn’t tell them anything, they would probably just twist it up and tell the public lies to ensure that the people would not revolt against Germany for their wrong doings.

     But I don’t know, that’s just me.

   The day after their arrival the people looking after Joseph and the other children told them to write to their parents just to update them on current events every week. All of the children’s parents wrote back.

 Joseph found out that his father was at the Buchenwald concentration camp but then escaped using false papers.

  when Poland was invaded by Germany Josephs mother told his father to leave or they would arrest him again, which he did but Joseph never heard from his mother again.

 Apparently, He had a brave dad and mom, It was very brave of her to send her husband away to safety. although, I’m not sure why she didn’t go into hiding herself.

    His father was on the last train that crossed the Holland border then was on the last boat to England from Holland. He was then arrested for being an “enemy alien” and was then sent to a concentration camp on Isles of Mann where he shared his stay with Nazi’s, the same people who tried to arrest Him!

     Josephs Father seemed to be about 80% percent lucky, you know, the last train, and the last boat.   But he’s he’s 20% unlucky,  getting stuck in a English concentration camp with NAZI’S!!!

   How do you think Joseph felt, he knew his parent’s were both in danger while he was safe with the women and 25 other children. Maybe he felt a Little guilty? I’m not sure.  I do know that he would not be safe forever, he had a long and dangerous journey ahead.
