@WW2girl1944 Hi Alina - love your posts - my dad was a Polish Jew, who ended up in Siberia early in the war. Are you aware of any sources of lists of Polish citizens exiled by the Soviets to Siberia in 1940 and 1941? Thank you.
@RichardPCondon Hang in there - I have been visiting National Park Service battlefield parks since the Civil War Centennial of the early 1960s. You guys consistently do a great job educating your fellow Americans.

@WW2girl1944 I believe my father may have been one of those. A Jewish Pole who died when I was young and who almost never said anything about the war years, he seemed to hate the Russians as much as he hated the Nazis.
@Richard37215662 Thanks for the reply, Richard and I hope all is well with you. I think you may know, my bro Steve. It was an unbelievable game and I was also at the OSU game in Dec ‘78 - Art Schlicter, QB & Gambler - was the last guy on their bench. Clark Kellogg was their Center. Go RU!
@KKriegeBlog Washington’s escape from second Trenton (leading to victory at Princeton, is one of the most overlooked of his (not that many) excellent military moves during the war. Copied (the escape part only) by the British at Monmouth
@Richard37215662 That’s good, but I fear another Chris Ash type hire- someone from a big U with no understanding or connections to NJ or knowledge of RU’s unique fund-raising challenges compared to places like OSU, IU, etc.
