My parents were born in Ukraine, I am the oldest of 4 children and was born in Poland. My next brother was born in Czechoslovakia and the younger twin brothers were born in Germany - in an American refugee camp where we spent four years waiting to be processed for immigration to a new life in Australia.
We are Ukrainians who fled Russian invasion twice and are grateful to this wonderful country of Australia which provided us with safety, education and the promise of a future.
