Don't know the reason, but for some of us it was endemic. I pestered my grandmother for 30 years before she finally told me some stuff about life on the Volga. She kept telling me she came here to forget all that ....

I'm new to the list and have many questions, but one nagging one. Why didn't many Volga immigrants when in the US not talk about their parents. On both sides of my family Sewald and Pfeif, none of my Uncles or Aunts know about their Grandparents history. Any reason why from this a gust group? Thanks, Dennis L.
