他加了: “My grandfather wrote a poem, but when they were liberated, he asked people [survivors] that were liberated to sign the book, so there are about 50 signatures.”

Pete was emotional from the start, as Gary returned to The Repair Shop to see the book after being restored.

He told sister 苏菲: “Why am I already welling up here? I’ve not even seen the bloody book.”

She replied: “That’s sent you under, hasn’t it? Awww.”
