My fiance's mother escaped from Auschwitz at 12 years of age during a work excursion that went wrong right. She is of Polish Jewish extraction and was taken in by a German Catholic family. She converted to Catholicism and denies her Jewish heritage to this day, even though she has recounted stories of her imprisonment, the death of all her family members, etc. She is 80+ years now, quite ill, and not expected to live much longer. The manner in which she lived out the rest of her life seems to have left a significant negative impact on her children.

How has your grandfather coped with raising a healthy family despite all the pain and suffering in his past?

Edit: corrected to recognize the positive
