Poland until '89 when we fled to west Germany. My dad refused to join the party which made life much more complicated than it was for other members of the family who did.
They really did, it was hard work and so many of them had to go abroad for some time, but many came back with money waned there and helped building Poland to what it is today. It’s not perfect, but what a difference!
And that is why they also understand the real threat which is coming closer from Russia.
