And it should all be over by now

    “Karl could hardly believe it; his whole childhood world came crashing down. He could not begin to understand that you could live anywhere other than in the house in which you grew up (...) And now all that was to come to an end. He could understand that he had to go to England but he had thought that the house would still be there for him. He knew it like the back of his hand. He knew every hiding place from the attics to the cellar, every single roof beam and every water pipe. His gun was buried in the garden and his den was in the cellar.“*
