Jean De Metz

The last journey of the Emeralds Jean De Metz

"Behave as we have since the end of the First World War. We are Dutch! We are baptized catholic and basta. We live in Germany and feel German, as far as our mo-rality allows. In our minds lives a little Judaism, against all external rules. In secret, we can believe what we want. Nobody will bother us. Is that clear now? "This speech is being delivered by Master Fred, Frederik van Thalhorn, the oldest in the van Thalhorns clan. Freder-ik's wife Sophie; his sons Henrik with wife Helena and Finn with wife Cornelia: they have been discussing the attack of the German army on Poland for quite Some time now. Today is September 1, 1939. Hitler gave a speech on the invasion of Poland. For a short time, they still hope a second war could be avoided.
