A little story from WW2

In our tenement house we have common laundry rooms with washing machines, centrifuges, dryers etc. Perfect I would say.

I met a small woman there, very fragile and quite old. She said something and I asked her: Are you from Czechia? She looked very surprised and said Yes, I lived in Czechia as very young, but we soon moved to Germany. I lived in Berlin during the World War II, during all the bombings of civilian blocks by the English and the US, I know how they bombed all the cities. It was completely horrible and lots of friends died. I don’t like US because of that. Ever since, up to now, US still bombs civilians in lots of countries. It's for our freedom every guy in US tells us. But what about the freedom of the other guys then? In EU very few has any sympathy whatsoever for US, as a matter of fact.

For 50 years ago, she said, we were tricked into moving to Sweden. We would never have done it if we had known how very poor it was here.

That was a nice Lady with a terrible destiny. I hope to see her again but I'm pretty sure I will not. That's life!
