I don't know much about my forefathers, a word here and there only. One of my grandfathers on my mother's side was a Greek and had a big factory in Thessaloniki, but for some political reason lost it and got killed, no one tells me why, then his wife got the 5 kids and ran to Bulgaria, and hid in the forest till they made a shack in one night, since there was this law that in one has a house he cannot be thrown out from the country. Then my grandmother and grandfather became young communists when in Bulgaria this was a political crime, got arrested, my grandma received life in prison, my grandpa death penalty 0 but they were saved by the coming of the Russians - this at the end of WWII.
On my father's side I had a Romanian great-grandfather, who was an Orthodox priest, and for some reason fled to Bulgaria; then some others great-grahdfather fought in the Balkan war. My grandpa graduated law in Switzerland, and became a lawyer and a mayor of some Bulgaria town; but after 9-9-1944 when the Communists took the power he was persecuted and forbidden to work, because he graduated in a Western country. He was supposed to be send to a political concentration camp /from the type of Gulag, in Bulgaria/, but a drinking buddy of his was a Communist and he took him off the hook.
This is all I know, no dates, nothing, my family doesn't like to talk about who was what when and where.
