"Can't believe": a woman found a grandfather's documents about his role in World War II

To spread: The resume refers to the little -known details of a man after the war: he wrote reports for a magazine in France, studied in Sorbonne and served in Switzerland. 34-year-old Kira Shishko, who recently lost her grandfather Elsworth Rosen, "could not believe" her eyes when she found his old resume of the late 1940s. Thanks to this granddaughter revealed the hidden pages of his biography. As it turned out, Grandpa was an active defender of preserving the memory of the Holocaust.

The woman tells more about this at one of the themed forums in Reddit. "We were very close. The parents worked full -time, so grandparents helped with the upbringing of children - they were taken from school, assisted with homework or taken to sports workouts," Kira, who lives in Boston (USA), recalls. The resume refers to the little -known details of her grandfather's life after the war: he wrote reports for Stars and Stripes in France, studied in Sorbonne and served in Switzerland.

"He often told how after the release of Dachau talked with prisoners to Yiddish. They were shocked that the Jews were still alive and free somewhere in the world," Shishko recalls. She cheered the section in a resume, where his grandfather described herself as a "good companion" and listed a hobby: theater, sports, chess and women. "He always loved a women's company and was a little bold.

In the language column he indicated that he had a profile knowledge of German, which was clearly a fun," Kira laughs. To the deep old age, Rosen performed at schools and universities, telling young people about his experience of war. With his wife, Leonora, he lived for 71 years - until her death in 2020. The couple raised six children. The veteran himself died on November 21, 2024.

Having published this archival resume on social networks, Kira noted how the approaches to the resume have changed since then. Once upon a time, people were not so tired of "grinding" their biography and allowed themselves jokes. Earlier, one man shared his story about his unexpected release after he spent a sleepless night, doing overtime to complete a critically important project at the request of the company's technical director.
