Sorry.... sounds like we might have something in common there, for what it's worth....
My family - I don't know about everything, but I know a relative went into labor hiding in a barrel during a pogrom in Ukraine, at some point, my grandparents were stranded in Sibirya spontaneously running from communist government, several relatives were almost killed / killed at Nazi concentration camps, I don't know enough Latin American history to figure out why my family left and whether it was to do with anything political, or what happened there. Then amy grandparents + 3 young children spent years traveling looking for relatives who may have stayed alive - I'm guessing maybe they didn't have a clear place to go back to or something specific they wanted to wi with their lives.... idk.
