I read Buried Secrets last year. It was interesting to read how she conducted the research before online databases.

First let me say, I am French, so my story makes more sens. An old cousin, now deceased, was a prisonner of war in Germany and toward the end of the war was able to escape from his camp. He wanted to go back to France and tried to follow mainly main roads. He kept dodgine traffic by jumping in the brush along the road until one time, he had to go over a barrier and the automobile that was coming ran into it and severed his left arm. He was grateful that the people of the little village nearby did take good care of him. Since it couldn’t be salvaged, they even burried his arm with the body of a villager in the village’s cemetery. After that, until he couldn’t drive any longer, he went every year on the tomb of his arm in that little village, where he was always welcomed. I knew him when I was a little girl and he made an impression on me. He was always full of fun and optimism.
