The De vriendts left New York

Germans Live in Filth
They found, however, that the
house had been left in a condition
such that animals would hesitate to
inhabit. The German soldiers had
no idea or did not care to exercise
any sanitary measures. They did
not even remove their own filth,
merely covering it with straw, layer
by layer. But one room was left in
fit condition, that in which an officer
had his private apartment. The
family worked several days in clean
ing and renovating their home in
order to make 1t habitable. During
the occupation the family, FORUM
