Out of the Past

Some time ago, looking up an historical subject, I came across this photograph of a newlywed couple in Czechoslovakia, circa 1935.  A nice young couple, neatly dressed, peering into the future.  What did the future hold for them, I wonder.  

They would have had only a short time to settle into married life before Hitler took over their country and plunged the world into war.  Did they have children?  Did he go off to war or to forced labor?  Did they live to see the liberation of their country, and subsequent domination by Russia?  What happened to them, after that short space of peace?

What will happen to all of us now, in America?  What would they say to us if they could speak?  I wonder . . .
