Can you imagine what those men have seen? We can say they were born two centuries ago, lived in an era what now we study as history, experienced world wars, political- , moral-, technical changes and now passed away in the era of supercomputers. Incredible life path.

I took care of a lady for over a year, who was about 95. She told me eye witness stories of events--now history. She related how she rode the train during WWII, and enjoyed a train full of soldiers on leave,

Read some comments about what these people have seen I worked for many years with the elderly but the people who got my attention were some elderly I met whilst on holiday they played with little well worn stones I asked what they were playing and this was the answer . We had no toys to play with so we found these stones and have always played same game we made up whilst we were in the Concentration Camp, only then did I see they all had numbers tattooed on their arms
