Wow what a great question, and a fantastic way to turn such a negative experience to look at the positive. Whilst in the camp my Grandad and his fellow Czechs would sneak pieces of bread into the toilet cisterns for the Polish prisoners to eat as they were a lot worse off than them...there was a lot of camaraderie. He had an italian friend called Giovanni Caldo who would draw pictures cigarette paper of my Granddad and his fiancée (my grandmother was not in the camp but my Granddad had a locket with her picture in it). He would like to know what happened to Giovanni. We still have some of the sketches which are in my parents house. Giovanni was truly talented. Here's a link to the pictures and my Grandad holding them: http://youtu.be/tBf0eNCR6hk Just to reiterate these are drawings and not photos!

Wow - he says he is touched by your kindness. He loves his home town of Brno, the historical centre and the beautiful surroundings (forests and hills surround the city). A specific place is a small spa called Luhacovice.

Quick views of the rest of the family...if you'll indulge us: My husband: Český Krumlov Castle. My mum: A small town in the uplands called Nedvedice (Vysocina) it has a gorgeous medieval castle called Pernstejn.
My dad: Prague, specifically Charles Bridge which is a tourist must. Me: The best caves I've ever visited are called Macocha.

Edit: He also says if you speak Czech you are welcome to come and visit him in his care home in Brno.

If you would ask your question and let us know where in the world it's coming from that would be great my grandad is really interested and excited

The person who invented wars.

No, not at all. It is not fair to judge one whole country for a black spot in their history.

Update: The first phonecall wishing him Happy Birthday today was from his German friend.
