Refugees

1953 - Lost son returns home twice: Friedhelm No. II is the name of a 14 year old boy who was repatraited from Czechoslovakia, some days ago together with six other playmates.When the Red Cross sister brought him home, his parents said firmly, Our Friedhelm is already at home'. But after a one-minute meditation the parents had to realize that they had, in fact, accepted a wrong boy - two years ago. The two boys were as like as two peas. Though the parents have seven children, they decided to keep the boy and to christen him Freidhelm No II'. The wrong Friedhelm is also deaf, and family Resert picked him out of a refugee camp, thinking it was their actual son. Photo shows (From left to right), Friedhelm No. 13, Father Wilhelm Resert and Friedhelm No II whose likeness with his father is obvious all happily united in their home
