Further re. my being a descendant of eastern European Holocaust survivors (see #21 from the other day): it being a Remembrance-y time of year, it's timely to point out that you can get some of the full story from a speech that my dad was invited to deliver at Rideau Park United Church in Ottawa last weekend. He recounts the amazing but true story of his parents', uncle's and aunt's (mis)adventures in Poland and the USSR during the war.
