"Alzheimer's had turned Kugler into an emotional man, unable to deal with whatever painful memories he held on to. His wife said that when he met with young people, he would often start crying uncontrollably. In 1979, one friend reported that Victor was experiencing time lapses, sometimes thinking he was back in Amsterdam. 'Victor and Lucy Kugler were at our house, when, without warning, he went up the stairs. Lucy said, 'Where are you going, Victor?' To which Victor replied, 'I'm just going upstairs to check that the people are all right '" (page 178).
