We'll meet again

I cannot describe the feeling of contentment which was with me at that time. Only those who have lived through those six years could understand that.

I shall never forget that day in May of 1945. People gathered in the streets and among them at Buckingham Palace we saw the King and Queen with the Princesses on the balcony. The Prime Minister, addressing the crowds in Whitehall, declared: "In our long history, we have never seen a greater day than this.”

Jowan and I walked back to our hotel together. The nightmare was over.

The long days of waiting for Jowan were past. We were together and the future looked good.
