and children that suffered through the nightmare of World War II were not forgotten in history. Dr. Niklewicz relates the many stories that he had heard
about his father’s desperate situations during the war in this second of two books. The private spoken memories of his parents and other family members
over the years not only intrigued him but drove him to record them for their future generations. His first book, “The Last Train to Dachau” was based on
his mother’s family and the trials they had to overcome, and was a powerful testament to their courage.
Many years were involved in the researching and collecting of information that his stoic parents were reluctant to share regarding his father’s exploits,
but now at last they are woven into the fabric of this fast-moving saga.
As was the duty of storytellers over the centuries, Dr. Niklewicz felt that it should be the duty of the fortunate descendants of brave people, such as
featured in these books, to be vigilant in continuing their family stories. If these stories were to pass into the unlit side of history because of apathy,
the resultant ignorance would lead to a new tyranny and would surely allow history to repeat itself. This is something that Dr. Niklewicz was determined
not to let happen.view less
