WHY?

 On Christmas Eve, 1945, George and Jennie Sodder went to sleep not knowing that their lives were about to change forever. A few short hours later, their house was burned to the ground and five of their children were missing. No remains of the children were ever found. George and Jennie have since passed away, but the questions that would forever haunt their lives remain unanswered.
This site is intended to serve as a means of sharing information about this event and is developed in remembrance of the five missing children, their siblings, and their parents, who bore the burden of all the questions and uncertainty for the rest of their lives.
