pickThe book is based on a photograph brought to the Holocaust Museum in DC. There were so many important & sad points made throughout the book. There are so many people & families that were murdered that historians feel that they still don‘t have the full story. That there has been so much whitewashing & pushback on researchers. Making it difficult to access archives or digger further into the past. My grandmothers family left Poland in the early
ncsufoxes 1900s. My grandmother was born in the US but her older sister was born in Poland. My mom doesn‘t even know what village they came from. We think they possibly were somewhere near what is now Ukraine. They were Catholic & we understand that something must have prompted them to leave Poland. My mom said her grandparents never spoke English & they never discussed where they were from. I am always trying to find more answers to this puzzle. 15h
TheBookHippie I hope you find answers. This book was so good. 12h
ncsufoxes @TheBookHippie my mom has decided to take a genealogy class to see what she can learn. I‘ve also suggested that she get a copy of her mom‘s birth certificate to see if it lists where her parents were born. Her dad is from Ireland & she had requested a copy of his birth certificate from Ireland (her, my sisters & I are working on our dual citizenship). She knows she has family in Ireland but she wonders if anyone survived in Poland. 12h
TheBookHippie @ncsufoxes hardly any Jewish people did, I heard Catholics were lost in big numbers too -but I can‘t recollect if was from hiding Jews or just resisting in general, or both. It will be interesting what she learns. 12h
