Reminds me of the stories from WWII, but 22 years!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?

One of the saddest things is that after all this time, he actually chooses to return to the hiding place because he says, "It is my second home. Maybe it is my first."

Is this the same person who lived in a hole for 20 years, which was in the news about a month ago? Perhaps a few stories just got mixed up or something...

He is very lucky. and he just give me an idea. ;)

I don't know, but it could be because he's been out for a while. I must have missed it the first time around. [img]smile.gif[/img]

This has nothing to do with this case, but i just read an article about a British man who lived in two families for 18 years. All the time his wife thought he was at the office, but in fact he was with another woman, who lived only 800 mtrs away. Quite a family guy. :D

That's pretty weird. I saw it on MSN when I got on. What a feat. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

my opa used to hide under the floorboards under my dad's crib whenever the nazis came by when they were living in holland during the occupation. they also kept my 'aunt' greta in that same crib. one time a soldier even walked right up to her and said "oh what a cute little baby!" and then walked away. how they never figured out that this perfect example of a jewish girl wasn't related to the perfect little dutch kids she was living with is beyond me.

slightly :off topic:

I know a guy who has a brand new 1938 Zündapp motrocycle he purchased from the children of a woman who had hid it behind a false wall until her death (they discovered it afterwards).
She and husband had hid his cycle before the war to avoid it being drafted by the army. After the war had ended and the husband was MIA she continued to hide it not giving it to her children and grandchildren saving it for her husband who might come back and want his bike.
