Reading about your family history helps me put my own family history into better context and, importantly, it helps me bring more compassion to my mother and father for what they survived. Your writing is beautiful, powerful, moving, and enlightening. I am so looking forward to continuing on this journey with you. I sense I will be discovering much about myself and my background as I continue to read. Thank you for this work.
Thank you so much Lynn. This is exactly what I was hoping for— That through sharing my own journey I could be helpful to someone else while also build a community of healing. I’m grateful to walk this journey with you.
Indra, I'm in awe of your parent's and grandparent's story. It is so much like my parent's and grandparent's, but from Ukraine and their escape to Austria and finally to the United States. American Soldiers gave my mother and her siblings oranges. She said she remembers how amazing they tasted. I'm looking forward to your future posts.
Indra,
