Thank you for sharing “A family snapshot”

Dear Editor:

I read Andrew Fedynsky’s article in The Ukrainian Weekly titled “A family snapshot from a vastly larger picture” (September 8) with great interest.

Thank you for sharing the story about Mr. Fedynsky’s parents and the hardships they endured in Ukraine before and during World War II.

Every paragraph was heart-wrenching. These kinds of stories are rare treasures, because so many Ukrainians either died before being able to talk about their experiences, or they were afraid of the consequences of doing so, or they were emotionally unable to talk about them.

I would enjoy reading more of such survivors’ accounts in The Ukrainian Weekly.

Thank you, Mr. Fedynsky, for writing about your parents’ experiences.
