This is more of a question for you and meant with no disrespect:
After surviving such a horrific ordeal at the hands of an enemy, have you ever felt that your grandfather now carries a bit of prejiduce against Romanians/Germans forever. I only ask because my own grandfather was a POW for a short while, and despite being an honorable man in every other way, he's had kind of an irrational and automatic hatred of the captive race that strangers have found offensive. It's not to diminish your or my grandfathers character at all, and I say that its more than fair that such a traumatic ordeal manifests itself into a lifelong fear.
edit:
Has he ever spoken about forgiving his captors, or will he never forget?
