Only one of them ever really talked about their experiences in any detail. She actually wrote a book (just published within her family mainly). The others, we knew their story, but they did NOT like to talk about it; in fact, they would almost get angry when it was brought up like it opened up wounds they had very carefully sealed. They were very protective of that history remaining very private. Their reaction was often to wave any talk of the past off (quite literally -- I can still see the one waving that hand like brushing it aside) and say something like "Oh, that was a long time ago and it is over." I think they really compartmentalized those experiences into very secure boxes.
