Germany... WWII... Wishes...
When I was a kid, we frequently visited Latvia, and in summer we spent few months in Yurmala - a world class resort, with many places occupied by foreign tourists, or by the very high ranked Communist Party officials.
Many of my relatives spoke German. One time we were walking right next to the elderly German couple, and my aunt has stopped suddenly and asked us - do you know what those two just said? They said - can you imagine that all this beauty could belong to us?
