Lost to History
u/weedandsteak: “My grandfather was Polish. He’d fought in the second world war in the allied forces after escaping to occupied Italy. Later, he came to the UK and met my grandmother, with whom he had an unbelievably troubled relationship, and five kids.
He died when my Dad was 14. My Dad and his brothers found some old projector films in the attic, one was a slideshow that appeared to depict him, in a suit, next to a woman in a wedding dress, standing at an altar. The guy had been married already, in Poland. We don’t know what happened to his first wife, but he was estranged from his Polish family.”
