Hoʻomaʻamaʻa e like me mākou (ʻaʻole maʻa paha) i ka hoʻopili ʻana i nā puke Nīpika me ka ʻano noir, ʻaʻole ʻeha ke huakaʻi huakaʻi i nā ʻano ʻano ʻē aʻe i hoʻomohala ʻia me nā kūleʻa a me nā peni maikaʻi i kekahi o kēia mau ʻāina Skandinavia.
ʻO Marie Bennett kahi laʻana maikaʻi o kahi mea kākau kūʻē kūlike e mahi nei (ma ka liʻiliʻi no kēia manawa) i kahi kumuhana ʻokoʻa loa. Ke hoʻomaka nei mai kona kauhale, ʻo Malmo hema o Kuekene, alakaʻi ʻo Marie iā mākou i 1940.
I loko o kēlā kūlanakauhale liʻiliʻi a laila noho ʻo Georg a me Kerstin, a hiki i kēlā hoʻoilo o 1940 he nui ka poʻe ʻōpio i kiʻi ʻia e pale aku i ka ʻāina mai ka pūʻali koa Soviet, ma lalo o ka pale o ka hana ʻino i hoʻokuʻu ʻia i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke Kaua Honua Honua. ʻO ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana iā Finelani e hāʻawi iā ia i kahi kūlana kūpono a me nā kumuwaiwai nui e hoʻoikaika ai iā ia iho i nā mea e hiki mai ana i nā makahiki aʻe.
He 105 mau lā ka lōʻihi o ke kaua, ua nalowale ʻo Finlandia i kahi hapa o kāna kumuwaiwai i nā Lūkini a ua mālama ʻo Sweden e pale aku i kona palena. Akā ʻaʻole ʻo Georg a me nā hoa ʻē aʻe i manaʻo i ka hapalua lanakila e like me kā lākou. Hoʻopaʻi ʻia ma hope o ka hōʻole ʻana e hoʻolohe i kā lākou mau kauoha despotic a me nā kuleana ʻole, lilo lākou i manawa nui i nā kahua hana.
ʻAʻole like ʻo Georg i kona wā i hoʻi ai i Malmo ʻekolu mau makahiki ma hope. Ua ʻike ʻo Kerstin i ka paʻakikī o ka hoʻoilo i kona ʻiʻo me nā ukana a pau iā ia iho. Akā ua hoʻololi iā ia i kahi hoʻololi hou i wahine hou, hoʻokuʻu, wahine ʻokoʻa loa.
ʻO ka hoʻi ʻana i nā lima o Georg ke kumu o ka hāʻawi ʻana i kāna hauʻoli kūlohelohe. A ʻo ka hopena o kēlā hauʻoli e manaʻo iā ia e hina ka honua i kona kua.
He lōʻihi ka lōʻihi o ʻekolu mau makahiki… Ma ka hopena o 1943 ʻike ʻo Kerstin iā Georg e hoʻi mai ana. ʻIke ʻo ia he manawa maikaʻi ʻole kāna a ʻoi aku ka pono o kona puʻuhonua a me ke aloha ma mua o ka wā ma mua. Akā ʻaʻole ʻo ia ka wahine like e ʻapo iā ia me ka ikaika i ka lā ma hope o ka haʻalele ʻana ...
Hiki iā ʻoe ke kūʻai i kēia puke i kēia manawa Ma ka hōkele ma Malmo, Ka puke hou a Marie Bennet i hoʻopūʻiwa ai, eia:
