The shocking story right from the Titanic
These children revealed the cruel truth that marked their lives. “Although they knew that in the next moments they would die, with the last powers they woke us up and dressed us without telling us what was actually happening. I only have in my head the image of my scared father and the unknown man, who saved the life of me and my brother, on that dark day. Even now I have not passed that moment ”
On November 15, 1912, the RMS Titanic collided with an iceberg. This day is a dark one for many people because they lost loved ones and were left alone forever.
This is the story of the two brothers, Michael and Edmond who were 2 and 4 years old, respectively, on the day they lost their father.
The two children, together with their father Michele Navratil, boarded the Titanic in the hope that they would have a better life in America.
Who would have thought that this would not be the case and that in fact, they had risen to death? Due to some misunderstandings, Michele stole children from his ex-wife and tried to take them away from her, for this reason, they all had false names.
“It was a huge ship and certainly the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. Now I was playing happily through it and suddenly I woke up, waiting for a place in the lifeboat. It was very painful to see my father stay there but I didn’t realize he was going to die.
We were lucky, however, that they took us too. My brother and I took the last places in the lifeboats. ”
Before the father put them in the lifeboat, he told the two children that he loved them very much and told their mother that he loved her too and that he was convinced that he would come after them. All these words were said with the hope that the two children will finally reach their mother and will get rid of this scale.
Fortunately, that’s what happened.
The children arrived on the ship Carpathia, where they were taken by a lady who offered to take care of them until someone recognized them.
Because the children did not know English and had false names in the documents, the two little ones were found by their mother through the news and pictures that were posted with their story.
The family reunited a month and a day after the tragedy but unfortunately without their father, because he lost his life on the ship.
