It’s been a year since Russia invaded Ukraine. Millions of people fled their homes in search for a safe shelter. Bombs landed less than a hundred miles from my parents’ home. I never thought war would come this close to where I live. In my mind things like this just didn’t happen in the modern rich world.
Thank you for sharing such painful struggles of your grandparents. I think one of the biggest successes of European history is that countries like Germany has apologised for its past wrongdoings making it possible for the later generations to live peacefully as you said. It’s something we hope we’ll see in Asia one day - because a lot of political strife between China, Japan, S.Korea, Taiwan is due to the unwillingness to accept the past, apologise and move on.
Thank you for your perspective and sharing your family history. It is heartening to hear of Polish help to Ukrainian refugees. I pray we will eventually find our way to peace.
