Worse was to follow for Linda when she finally made it back to her home town of Stropkov in Slovakia. She walked down her old street and knocked on the door of her house.

'The door was opened by a Russian or Ukrainian man,' she says. He was a complete stranger, and yet he was living in her house.

'Go back to where you came from,' he said, and then slammed the door in her face.

With the Soviets now occupying Slovakia, Linda felt that she had no hope of recovering her past life.

She had been sustained through her time in Auschwitz by the belief that, one day, she could go home and rebuild her shattered existence. That hope was now destroyed.

cont- These are the true refugees’, they did not bring the situation on themselves. This was only fifty-five years ago; I do not see the EU taking up their cause. Anything Jewish or Moslem seems to slip past them – I wonder why?
