A fascinating history. I look forward to the next installment. I went to school in Steubenville OH in the 40' and 50's with many Serbs whose parents had fled Yugoslavia. Medichs, Boichs; dozens of Serbs. They worked in the steel mills, many starting their own businesses. Intelligent, warm. talent people. I am shocked at my own Catholic Church having been involved with the Nazis.

I remembered when NATO began its bombing campaign against Serbia I remarked to my colleagues in my Political Science Department that these were acts of aggression by what was supposed to be only a mutual defense alliance. But with the current conflict in Ukraine it appears that NATO is anything but a mutual defense pact.

I'm 67, Jewish South African and never had a clue about this. I even went to lessons to learn for my Bar Mitzvah where they supposedly taught us about Jewish history. I had some Yugoslav friends who I found easy to be with. Coincidence?
