The Ukraine? Did they have to endure Stalin’s genocide of that region?

Those that survived Hitler left fairly soon after the war.

It’s an interesting area of the world: SubCarpathian Ruthenia, once part of the Austria-Hungarian empire (which explains why my mother thinks she’s Hungarian! ;-) then Czechoslovakia, and the Ukraine after WWII.

Both my parents’ families lost property (not that I want it back mind you - they were dirt farmers and I’m already loaded with dirt, thank you very much! ;-) But I like to say that “I still have the key”. (Of course, there were no keys. No locks, either. They were lucky to have DOORS!) The Palestinians were not the only people displaced in a war. Some of us have gotten over it, though.
