An escape from Nazi-occupied Europe during WWII
A story from a father to his children based on real life incidents
The Journey is a work of fiction but is based on true incidents in
the lives of the author's parents and grandparents.
The Laenen family made the journey through Nazi-occupied
Europe over the route defined, and encounterd all those obstacles
described. However, the dialogue and many of the incidental
characters and places are a product of the author's imagination.
Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, business
establishments, events, or locales may be entirely coincidental.
