A family's Ukrainian history was a puzzle with missing pieces - just a few words and a dramatic story of a great-grandma, Olga, who fled the KGB in the 1940s. For decades, the rest of her story was lost to silence and fear. Then one night, the past quite literally showed up on a great-aunt’s doorstep. Armed with nothing but a decades-old scrap of paper, a long-lost cousin named Olya finally found her relatives, ready to fill in the blanks. This is the story of how the family was reunited and the shocking history they uncovered.
