first generation too
One of the labor camps my fathers family labored in was in the Auschwitz area - from what I understand there was a series of camps in that area. In addition to the wartime detention forced on my dads family - My grandfather was arrested by Stalins welcome wagons during the Purges in the thirties - when Stalin ordered all firearms turned in my grandfather kept a shotgun and got caught. Most who were caught were killed - somehow he got out of that mess with his life. My grandfather always had a rifle up on the wall of his house - I didnt know why untill much later after he had died......
