Memoirs from my father of his holocaust experience, what life was

A story about friendship, that occurs between people from diverse
backgrounds, and began during one of the most horrific times in
history...WWII. The story starts with the rescue of a holocaust
prisoner (Joseph) by a soldier who was the 1st African American man

different times have both had their families stripped from them,

In the 1800s, Aberdour, a sleepy village on the Firth of Forth, was
revived when it was 'discovered' as a retreat for sea-bathing and
restful holidays. When day-trippers in their hundreds spilled out
of excursion steamers, it wasn't so peaceful. As a residential
village nowadays, it is a quiet, douce wee place again, but one
that still appeals to the type of visitor who appreciates the
atmosphere that first brought 'strangers and sea-bathers' to this
part of the Fife Riviera. Dalgety Bay couldn't be more different. A
1960s private enterprise 'new town', Dalgety Bay is though a new
town with surprising links to the past from the medieval through
the wartime years to the present era of rapid change. Incorporated
in the town since the 1980s are the inland villages of Hillend and
St Davids Harbour. The latter was once a busy wee port as the
outlet for coal from nearby Fordell carried there by a railroad
dated back to the eighteenth century.
