Kristallnacht anniversary still haunting for child refugee from Nazi mobs

8. I'm not convinced that it's fantasy at all....

How a child at this age views an event is going to be distorted to some degree...even to the point of the ridiculous.

I was in an awful car accident when I was young. I remember certain things happening and when I spoke to my mother about them, she would say, yes, but it really happened this way. What I remembered was similar, but different in reality.

It's possible that this child saw the woman say those things, a glass dislodged causing that and even other things falling on her. His mind may only remember the piece of glass falling on her and the blood. It easily could have been something else that he doesn't recall.

The fact that he not only witnessed some horrors during a nightmarish time in history, he was also traumatized which can color and change perception.

I do think he believes he saw what he saw.
