(9,212 posts)You may be better off not knowing but it leaves a question in your mind. My family found out from my great uncle who came back to the town where his father and brother were to try to help them escape and people in that town who weren't nazis who knew his family told him what happened. Eventually he wrote letters and told everyone what happened in his town as well.
My grandmother came with 2 sisters to Canada and had an Uncle there. She worked in his laundry and then got married and had a family. My grandfather's family was from Romania and I think they had been there for at least a generation or two.
At one point I was researching the town online and genealogy with my grandmother's last name. But the town doesn't seem to exist anymore and only one person had relatives with her last name(maiden name), she could not help much. So I gave up at that point.
