ben conover Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 My Mothers Grandaparents were Ukrainian, I had no idea that ''By 1940 Poles were no longer allowed to own cameras or take photographs''. Perhaps I can make up for lost time. A very interesting read, thanks. Ben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben conover Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Correction, MY grandparents were Ukranian. They were humble and strong peasants who moved to Canada and built a new life in a log cabin. If I can do half as well I will be happy. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
