Hank: Many of us born between 1929-1950's had parents with very 'hidden' 'histories'. They often lied or never said what their true bios were. My mother was one of them. i was shocked when i was finally told in 1970. I was born in 1944.
I agree with Diane's comment. There are many people who lived through those terrible times who told their children almost nothing about the war. It was just too painful to remember.
Her and Sophie promised to never talk of it again. They wanted so badly to forget it so when they moved, they moved on, and didn’t bring the horrors into their new lives. Vianne was not Isabelle who probably would have told her stories to her children. Vianne was so ashamed of what happens to her, she doesn’t find it heroic.
Yes found it very sad that the mother had never talked about it with her son. But it made for a good story.
