...Marxist education. A few managed to escape and joined 17,000 refugee children in homes organized by energetic Queen Fredericka. One half-starved, trembling boy at one children's camp said: 'They came at night . . . We hid in the cellar but they dragged us out. They shot father outside the village, took mother away, and left me there.' When I asked him if he would rather be in some other place than his camp, the boy said, 'Is there a place better than this...
