I have some exciting news to share! I am in the early stages of writing a book about my grandmother’s World War II story. She and her family were Germans who lived in the Ukraine under Joseph Stalin. Her father was taken away when she was eight years old and sent to a death camp in Siberia. She never saw him nor heard from him again. When she was a teenager, her mother and brother were also deported to Siberia. (Thankfully, she was able to escape from the UN officials who attempted
to deport her.)It wasn’t until 30 years later that my grandmother was reunited with her mother and brother. By that time, she was married and had three teenage daughters, one of whom was my mom. I’m looking forward to sharing the full story with you as soon as I finish the book!
