Journal 120 – My family before World War II

In the journal 114, I have written generally about World War II. Right now, in the following two journals, I am going to write about my family before and after WW II.
World War II began in 1939 in Poland, where my family lived. Before the war my family was wealthy, after the one it had to begin a new life. My parents, Wasyl and Maria, were rich farmers until WW II. They had two children, Maria and George. Both attended high schools. It was rareness in those times in Poland. WW II interrupted the learning of my siblings. My older brother, George, lost his life. My sister, Maria, never after completed her tutorial seminary. Soon after WW II, communist authorities deported my family together with most other Ukrainian families from the southeastern area to Eastern Prussia. It was territory that belonged to Germany before WW II. Because of this action, which named Vistula, my family lost whole its properties during a few hours.
