I live about 300m, as the crow flies, from where my grandmother and grandfather rest in eternity. They emigrated from the Ukraine after World War 2 ended and they had been displaced from their homes, and families, by the Germans.

My grandfather never really talked about his time as a youngster in the Ukraine. But, even some 25 years after he passed, I know he hated the Russians with a passion. Why? I'm not sure. But, I swear I can hear the earth above his grave stirring with what is happening now in his country of birth.
