I don't have German roots in my family. Right now, I have some Venezuelan friends living in Bonn. My friend married a German man and told me that her in-laws' house has a basement, and that they have the habit of buying non-perishable food because her grandparents, who lived through the war, were scarred by it. So, aware that Germany, fortunately, is not experiencing a time of war, it seemed very human to me that Getrudis offered shelter to a woman with two daughters who had been left homeless. Truly, there are many people who need kind gestures from us.

I researched common German names and surnames to write a credible account.

The context was Germany, because @weisser-rabe is from there, and I feel she is a kind human being, capable of helping anyone in need.
