I must add the lol, chuckle, wink...

etc... So that I do not offend with the T & A thing.
Actually my cousins are in central europe, Germany my uncle married a polish/german/czech woman. One cousin is with a czech woman and the other with a polish woman. My uncle was one of those "invisible people" and among other things mastered about 18 languages and many more dialects. his specialties were the russian and czech. My cousins have actually worked in several capacities with those embassies and continue some of the business my uncle had established in those areas. My sister worked a while back helping to rebuilding eastern europe agriculturally.
Also Of note. The house that my cousins grew up in and my aunt still owns has been certified somehow for having had housed jewish people in hidden areas of the house both underground and in attic. They have a trunk with many jewish diaries and family heirlooms and artifacts from certain jewish families and such ala Anne Frank. My Aunt I believe was from Krakow. My uncle was actually working on something related to the jewish plight when he was killed a while back.
