There was the big kind house and her laughing mother... and candlelight for her supper of bread and milk and fruit... and the .wonderful event of her father coming home each evening. Then there came the black and terrible night when the Nazis swept in. Loud voices, tramp ling feet, rude jostling out into the street... sharp crack of rifles, and the great roar of flames burning down the house. Now Signe is alone and starving. Her mother and father... because they would not compromise, cooperate, collaborate... be cause they would jiot come to terms with evil... tg ts Your kieartr were stood before their own graves and shot. They died for the whole world of decent people, and Signe has become the ward 6f that world. We owe this child a debt. She must know the decency for which her parents died. Moreover, because of their sacrifice, and thou sands like it in Holland, China, Russia, Greece, Norway, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and France, enemy bayonets are duller, enemy bul lets are fewer, enemy power is less to send against our fighting men.
