its ruthless disregard for helpless little children,

Buoyed by the respect-compelling bravery

But many are out of harms way. Echoes
of the first gun in the Polish fighting had

from population centers were being whisked to
rural communities under plans mapped by
civilian protection groups.
Many were shipped to Canada and the
United States (some were killed at sea-, but
others were kept at home by overly-attached
parents. Many of these died in raids.
