Surviving the Holodomor (also known as the “Terror-Famine” or “Great Famine”) and the Bolshevik/Communist regime that killed his grandfather Valentin, father Jakob and numerous other family members, Leo and his mother, Emilie, narrowly escaped Ukraine by way of walking hundreds of kilometers and cattle train with bombs exploding all around them, they finally made it through Poland and into Germany in the middle of WWII.
