MY GRANDFATHER WAS BORN IN AUSTRIA OR CHECHSLOVAKIA TO MY KNOWLEDGE. HE CAME WITH FAMILY TO DETROIT, MICHIGAN, MET MY GRANDMOTHER, MARRIED, AND RETURN TO FAMILY IN EASTERN EUROPE, WWII BEGAN, HE WAS NEVER HEARD FROM AGAIN SUPPOSEDLY. INFORMATION SURFACED BY THE 1980S THAT HE SURVIVED WWII AND PERHAPS LIVED OUT HIS LIFE IN PARIS, FRANCE (WHETHER UNDER A DIFFERENT NAME OR NOT). I NEVER KNEW HIM, OF COURSE, BUT AS A STUDENT OF INTERNATIONAL REALTIONS/STUDIES, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO THE PEOPLE WHO WERE THE ALLIED POWERS DURING WWII. THE ROLE OF THE NEW EUROPE, EASTERN EUROPE, AND THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION IS CERTAINLY INTERESTING TO READ ABOUT. KLJ
