My father Wladyslaw Pacewicz in the 1990s at the grave of his brother Jozef in Krosno Poland. They were separated in April 1940 when Wladek was deported to Kazahstan with his mother and sister. Their father was killed in Katyn. Jozef escaped deportation, later to be conscripted into the Red Army. He remained in Poland after the War.
