The full headlines:

My dad, his "vivacious" wife (not my mom), & daughter had arrived in Sioux Falls 6 weeks earlier. He wouldn't talk about Germany because his parents & sister were still there, and "The arm of the Gestapo is long." None of them made it out.
My wonderful neighbor Louis tracked this down & made a legible copy, so I was able to read this for the first time today.
More to say but I can't right now....
