“They asked my grandparents to either leave their house or start speaking Russian. They left most of their belongings behind and moved through the West of Poland to start a new life in a house made of red bricks, the sign of German construction. The house was still warm from the family who was evicted due to border renegotiations. It is the house I was born in and the house they’ll probably die in, but it is not theirs officially.” Kasia Krakowiak 2009
