Everything of value they possessed, to their clothing and furniture had been taken away and carted into Ger many Their banks and stores had been footed, their public buildings defaced and the people forced from their poverty to pay tribute to their brutlsh conquerors Unspeakable outrages had been visited upon the and girls, not occasionally, but as part of the customary German regime. Suddenly by the advance of the Americans they had to be told the whole story of the war for they had had no news except from German since they were placed in captivity
