My Grandfather’s Mill – a spellbinding true account – focuses on the lives of two young refugees caught between Stalin and Hitler in war ravaged Europe, their harrowing escape to freedom and their emotional return to their birthplace half a century later.
“My Grandfather’s Mill, the fascinating history of the Melnyk and Tatomyr families, traces the traumatic upheaval the fleeing families experienced during the cataclysmic war, their extended stay in Displaced Persons camps, their growth and development in North America and the re-establishment of links with Ukraine. The book is a remarkable example of how knowledge about where we come from helps us understand who we are.”

“The saga of Ukrainian Displaced Persons is an important one for the world to know. My Grandfather’s Mill brings alive the human story behind the headlines of great armies and leaders to tell the enduring tale of survival and perseverance in the face of unimaginable odds.”
