"Milly's Story" is a testimony of the author's personal experiences as a 10-15 year old girl during the Nazi occupation of Luxembourg in the Second World War. Her vibrant, authentic chronicles, especially the episodes of the Liberation by U.S. troops and life with American soldiers, such as Christmas Eve 1944, are moving and thrilling accounts based on historical context."The Young Girl's Memories of the Second World War" is dedicated to all the U.S. soldiers who fought in the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg for the liberty of her nation. It is also dedicated to the numerous descendants of those who migrated from Luxembourg to the United States, especially in Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois.
Here's the link for the first chapter of Milly Thill's memoir, <Milly's Story"}>--it was first published in Luxembourg in Letzebuergesch, and it has recently been published in English.
