Thank God I tend to remember #oral #history trickling from one generation to another. My mother's family tried to flee during WWII. They were refugees for like 2 or 3 weeks. A few years ago, I jotted down what I remembered from their experiences. It's not entirely accurate, but just enough to give some idea of a #refugee life. I am reworking my notes from a few years ago into a novel. I hope that people will be interested enough to read that story and that they'll show a bit more #empathy.
