JFC: Yes, the children certainly knew about the rescue. Sometimes, one of the boys had to move into another boy's room when "guests" came to stay over. However, I made the situation a very normal part of their lives, and nobody was upset over it.
If I was leaving, I did a lot of cooking and freezing.
The kids knew never to speak to their friends about calls which happened in the house. But quite frankly, everything was so natural that it was all accepted as a normal part of life.
JB: That's pretty amazing, too, Judy. After so many years of silence, does it feel a bit strange to finally emerge from the shadows and talk freely about that chapter of your life?
JFC: I am not sure what you mean by "strange,' I am only talking about that part which can be made public.
There is so much that I don't speak about when I give a speech. Nobody knows how I was doing it. The escape for each person and family was arranged differently. I lived with tremendous stress and worry especially since I could not talk about what I was doing. I was trying to live a normal life, knowing that if I made a mistake, someone would be arrested.
I do not believe that the full story will be told in my lifetime.
JB: There's now enough that's safe to reveal to fill both a book and a movie. What can you tell our readers about that?
