Six years later her father was an officer in the Waffen-SS, the Nazi party Elite military division. "Where did all the money come from?" Pless asks, "it's clear to me now: it could only have come from Jewish households. No one can tell me he didn't know Jews were persecuted." In 1944 the family saw the roads filled with families fleeing the Russian Army, the war was lost and she didn't realize until she heard the Russians shooting celebratory gunfire. Pless spent the coming Spring searching for food...gathering spring potatoes in her skirt. Before she knew it she was alone in a field far from town. "that's when a Russian soldier grabbed me and raped me," she says. She was nine years old. Pless says she ran home to tell her mother, but her screams were met with silence. 'There are truly tragic stories out there. Mine, by comparison, is almost trivial." she says. I was nine-the war wasn't my fault. But I'm not a victim either." "Look at the world now: People haven't learned. It is horrifying that neo-Nazis are back, and not just in Germany, in the U.S., in Scandinavia. People are so easily manipulated. This is another of the amazing stories I was able to help tell for the June issue of the @NatGeo magazine. I use the word by #AndrewCurry, because I could no tell it as well. #LastVoicesofWorldWarII」5月15日 7時13分
