my mom used to tell me stories of when the nazis invaded liuthuania when she was a teenager

Lithuania? ... Does/did your mum (or dad) have a North-eastern European heritage, Joe? Just curious, because I remember your telling us once, that you'd an unusual *surname [I don't mean 'Bloggs'!] ... one you said we'd never guess!

both my parents are from Lithuania they came here just as WW2 finished, they lived under Nazi rule, but escaped from Lithuania when the Russians invaded.

my mother remembers being at school and seeing German planes flying past, the start of the invasion, the Nazis came to her school, burnt all the Lithuanian books and replaced them with German books , that's why my mom speaks perfect German.

my father joined the Russian army to fight the Nazis, when the Russians invaded, my mom who was 13, her younger sister, baby brother and her mom left on the last train before the Russians invaded where they were, her uncle was killed by Russian fighter planes who were shooting at people trying to flee the country .

my mom told us of many things that she seen and had happened to her, kids to day have no idea what some went thru..
