As a ten-year-old boy, living in Munich-Germany near the end of WWII, in winter, the writer saw Russian POW, in an open-air prison treated better than civilians in Gaza.  The German military left them dressed with the rags they wore; nobody was near naked.  The writer and other children collected stale bread from the neighbors, which they carried daily along with a metal bucket of hot tea, which they passed through a chain-link fence, to the prisoners.  Nobody stopped us from doing so.  No-one had enough to eat; yet people had compassion for these men, held prisoner.
