The Grayling Is The Name of the Fish That The Freier Family Ate When They Escaped to the Woods During The Occupation of Slovakia
The grayling, an exceptionally beautiful fish in its own right has been removed from the endangered species in the United States. During WWII the fish spawned prolifically in the fresh water that it swam in. The grayling fish was the Freier family’s main source of food. This fish was easy to scoop out of the water with hands, but it fought hard for its life after it came out of the water and many times it had to be dropped back into the stream. The grayling fish became the family’s symbol for survival. Cheryl Freier: www.thegraylinghiddentruthpoems.com
