I hope he thought back to before the times they spent hiding.

I lost my brother after a long failed treatment for cancer. It’s easy to remember the crappy 3 years of hospital visits and associated hardship. But when I remember him, I’m more often thinking of the 30 years before that, and the good moments in between.

Being in that room probably made it impossible not to think about the war though, and there’s no way anyone could be expected to think otherwise.

Also vote against Nazis and fascists so we don’t have to deal with these again.
