In the latest episode of 'Oorlogsverhalen van ons moe', Bart shares his grandmother's recollection from the World War II era, centering around their small farmhouse in Steenheuvels surrounded by pine forests. The story features a unique character, a Serb deserter who hid in their house and developed a bond with the family. Despite the family's efforts to keep him hidden, he was eventually caught by German soldiers with a picture of Bart's elder sister in his possession, sparking fear through the family. Bart's uncle and aunt were captured temporarily while the Serb survived. The consequences of wartime conditions were clearly felt in their daily life, from their mother's fear of venturing into the forests to the disappearance of their cow, possibly stolen by two deserting Belarusians hiding in the area. The episode caps off emphasizing how news spread rapidly even in a time without telephones. file:///C:/Users/HP/Desktop/dossier%20stamboom/nl-155x235.docx#_ftn1file:///C:/Users/HP/Desktop/dossier%20stamboom/nl-155x235.docx#_ftn2
