A Christmas Movie

On Saturday evening I watched a movie on t.v. called In LOVE AND WAR. During the story a young girl who was German, met an English soldier who was captured and taken to a prison camp. When the opportunity presented itself the prisoners escaped and they were taken into the homes of Jewish Italian Germans. In a form they were in hiding. This is where the young people met.

During these times of trying to keep hidden, the families helped keep them safe which involved finding new places for them each day. When the Germans came to the door they threatened the people hiding the prisoners with arrest. So the young lad that stayed with one of the families had to stay around the neighborhood so none of the owners of these homes would be arrested. But wherever he went their daughter would follow.

In the last part of the movie, which by the way is based on a true story, the couple found each other again after many long years and got married. According to this story they are living together and have been married for 65 years...I love a true story.
