accroché à son cou, frappe à la porte de notre résidence. Elle s'appelle Traudi, et une infirmière de la Croix-Rouge l'accompagne. Elle vient du pays de nos ennemis, les Allemands, qui ont occupé les Pays-Bas pendant cinq ans. Plus de 300 000 de nos concitoyens ont péri durant ces années d'occupation. Traudi, cette "fille de l'ennemi", nous a pourtant apprivoisés à la réconciliation. Cinquante ans après sa visite, je veux retrouver celle que je surnomme ma "petite sœur". Mais la tâche ne sera pas facile. De nombreuses années et un océan nous séparent. Tout ce qu'il reste de ces années et de cette rencontre, c'est une vieille photo de sa confirmation.
