Solid


Schweinfurt, Germany, about 1946. Here's another image of my paternal Grandmother—on the left—with a friend from the DP camp.

Usually Tatjana doesn't smile in her later years.

Nice to see it hear.

Freedom means more when you've had to struggle for it and when you've paid its price.

I find it hard to believe she was only 49 years old in this photo.

Really?

She'd been through an awful lot.

Or a lot of awful.

I'm glad she had a little of the good life as america offered it, but I don't doubt she'd have wanted to go back to the old pre-war Lithuania if she could have.

Yes; 49 in 1946.
