“In January 1996 I was invited, along with other veteran relief workers from the American Friends Service Committee and the Friends Relief Service, to the opening of the ‘Stille Helfer’ Exhibition of Quaker Relief Work, at the Berlin Historical Museum. I was also invited back to Berlin to make contact once more with the Berlin Ecumenical Council, and in the following year was guest of honour at the 50th anniversary celebrations of the ‘Karolinger Youth House’. During conversations and discussions it became apparent that my German friends had little or no knowledge of what the so-called ‘victors’ were going through in post-war Britain.”
