Jonathan Freedman wrote about the trauma that remains with
him from March 27, 1945 bombings on England.
I have to add that I was born two days after. When the last V2 rocket
fell on London, I was being born. My parents
never got over that night when they raced to a bombed hospital to let me be
born, and my brother would pull me under the steel table in our garden whenever
there was a loud noise. I still can’t
bear fireworks. Can you imagine what the
residents of the Ukraine are feeling now, and what they will feel for the rest
of their lives?
