He kissed her forehead, squeezed her hand as paramedics ran to his side -- but he looked their way and shook his head.

"Welcome to America, my love," he whispered.

[note: I typically don't post all a story's acknowledgments until I've finished, if only because I'm not sure how many I'll need until the work is finalized. Yet with the current circumstances that might not be the best way to proceed, and I'd hate to have this story stop 'unexpectedly' without some mention of these sources. Of course, the source material in this case -- so far, at least -- derives from two Hollywood films: Dirty Harry and Bullitt. The first Harry film was penned by Harry Julian Fink, R.M. Fink, Dean Riesner, John Milius, Terrence Malick, and Jo Heims. Bullitt came primarily from the author of The Thomas Crown Affair, Alan R Trustman, with help from Harry Kleiner, as well Robert L Fish, whose short story Mute Witness formed the basis of Trustman's brilliant screenplay. John Milius (Red Dawn) penned Magnum Force, and the 'Briggs' storyline derives from characters originally found in that screenplay. Most of the other figures in this story derive from characters developed in the works cited above, but as always this story is otherwise a work of fiction woven into a pre-existing historical timeline, using the established characters referenced above.]

I have been to Theresienstadt. It’s a chilling place, not as bad as Auswitz in some ways, but worse in others. There was a modicum of hope and normality screening the inhumanity underneath. Every school aged child should have a trip to these places as part of the history curriculum. It isn’t far from happening again at any time.

As far as the story goes, I’m enjoying it, even though it is hard going. Will Harry ever get something good happen to him?
