People always told Trudi to focus on the positive things in life and it's not good to dwell on the things that were terrible, but it's not like Trudi liked to bring about terrible things, but she understood that no one could escape the responsibility of having lived in this time.
Georg returned from the war. During this point in his life, he had a wife and two twin daughters. He drank heavily and gambled his life away, but he was still a good man at heart. In fact, all four of the boys that abused Trudi when she was a little girl were still alive, and she felt suffocated.
America had been involved in the war trying to help, but some felt that they treated every German as if they were Hitler. They were kind on occasion.
Trudi and Max's relationship was strong. They decided they would go visit his aunt in another town, but then Trudi's father got sick and she decided to stay home with him. She told Max to go on ahead without her. Trudi did not know that this would be the last time she would see her lover. There had been a firebombing and she was sure he was dead. She waited for many years for him to return to her, but he never came. She was always making up new stories to console herself.
Now that the war was over and many people dead or missing, it was hard for things to resume as they were, but over time things would become normal again.
This time after the war also brought about other bad things. Ingrid returned with her two small children and was a widow. She thought she was the "sin" for having children. One day she sprayed them with holy water and she threw her oldest daughter into the river which killed her. She tried to throw her other daughter in the river, but someone grabbed her and saved her. Ingrid was sent to a hospital and died a week later. Ingrid's parents took care of the remaining daughter.
