The War Came To Slovakia And These Were Bitter Times
The character Sam endures one hardship after another in his attempt to live out the war. On page 95 of The Grayling Hidden Truth Poems, the text of the novel reads, “A mist hovered over the trunks and branches of the trees, making it hard to see, but Sam knew his way. “There are always clusters of trees”, he muttered to himself, and he remembered what Joseph had taught him, “walk closely to the trees”. He felt like a shadow—-traveling amongst the trees, moving cautiously and n step with all the creatures, who knew that the woods were their only habitat.”

How The Freier Family Survived In The Woods of Micholovce During The Nazi Seize
My mother-in-law told me, “We were helped by good Christian people, otherwise we would not have survived”. Written on page 93 are the following words….”Joseph’s devoted friend, his foreman, had secretly carried the blankets and coats in a wagon late one evening. When the foreman’s horse would not go into the deep woods, he himself made a stretcher from wood and he put the coats and blankets on the top of it, and pulled it along until he came to the hideout…..”

Joseph And His Family Knew That The End Was Near When They Were Crammed Into the Boxcar
On page 49, the reader is presented with Joseph Freier’s thoughts: “Joseph and his family had been put into one of the end cars, by chance; they stood in the middle of the car, holding each other’s hands and closing their eyes. They were convinced that this was the end for them. In the train were a few remaining members, close members of Joseph Freier’s family; but in this train there were over 32 members of Anna’s family, sisters, and their families, and her father. They all waited in anticipation for the sound of the wheels to start.

Treat Yourself to the Finest of Reading Experiences by Reading the Grayling Hidden Truth Poems
A monumental, powerful passage of words as was written on page 60 of the novel, The Grayling Hidden Truth Poems, “Sam went to open the door when the man called at him and speak loudly, ‘Please take some bread, and cookies, and some fresh pot cheese with our and remember that the ring will be waiting for you when you come back’. Sam shook his head up and down once, and looked at the man through the lens of a tear on the front of his eye, and said, “Thank you”. His heart pounded away—-beating to the tune of goodness. He was about to say, “If we make it back”, and he could not mutter any other words, as his face turned red and more tears began to flow. Not wanting the jeweler to see him crying, he turned and walked out the door.”
