There will certainly be winners, yes. I suppose, it's not the people. We are talking their tongues and speaking about their affairs which are not our affairs. Sometimes those affairs become ours, as in your case, fleeing the fields. I take no ones side but my own. Which identifies with your single soul as a human being.

Between my mom and the war was several decades, and what had interested me and my siblings was how she and hers survived it. Those occasions of having survived became our heroic moments in the family. It depended not who was the invader and who the liberator, for both had been indistinguishable for them.

Sincere greetings to you and may you come out strong and not depressed out of your experiences.
