My Father was part of the German Navy as a teen.  He passed away just a few years ago.  He said he went in and rebuilt after they destroyed areas - that was how he learned a trade.  Dad's home was inhabited by American troups when they came into Germany to defend against Hitler.  My Father's niece doesn't like to talk about things now.  But I would like to learn from them, not to condemn, but to hear a first hand experience and what they learned - what they would do differently, from their perspective how do they make sure it doesn't happen again.  I want my children to grow up learning from their story.

How would you suggest I word things in writing to them.
