   • Hi Shital, for any research there needs to be a starting point, talk to older family members, start documenting that and go from there.

4. I heard all the stories from my parents on my mother and father’s side. the brutality and horrors endured by our ancestors were dehumanizing. My grandparents on both sides along with my parents are all gone, we only have their stories left but it is about survival what they sacrificed for all of us, and how we can help to keep their dreams of a better future for all our children and future generations alive.
