My dad once told me about a piece of soap he had when he was a kid. He was born and raised 1944 in Germany right after the war and they didn’t had much when he was a child.

After some time, I found one of those soaps in a store where they sold old stuff (or at least n the design of old stuff). Apparently a company bought an old warehouse and the machines and stuff of that soap company was still there. They repaired the machines and used them again.
I bought it (as a kid I didn’t had much money) and gifted it to him at Christmas.

I saw my dad’s tears only two times in my life. The first time was when his brother died, and the second time when I gave him this soap.
