Arash * As the second World War ended, the world was a changed place in many ways and there was hardly anybody in the world that would not be affected by what would come in the decades after. The dust had barely settled from the years of destruction and deaths as a new kind of conflict had already started. The democratic West would be in a diplomatic and military fight with the Communist East for more than the coming next 50 years. American military involvement was summoned as soon as 1950, when a coalition of Western countries deployed to defend the Korean peninsula from an invasion in the North, backed by the mighty Soviet Union. More and more, both America and the Soviet Union would attempt to battle one another, whether covertly or by proxy. There were many close calls between the two sides, most famously during the Cuban Missile Crisis. About two decades into the Cold War, there was considerable involvement from one or both sides in conflicts ranging from Indonesia to Angola. A key turning point however came in 1979 in Afghanistan. At this time, my parents had not yet met. but all my family members on both sides were directly impacted by the events for the rest of their lives. What happened that year is the reason I came to this country. The Soviet Union had tried to influence Afghan politics but failed to do so and decided to escalate by invading Afghanistan with a massive army. My father at this time was a young radio news broadcaster. I asked him what happened and he spoke to me in his native Dari, with myself providing the translation. “I was at home with a small pistol. I was the oldest, and my father was too old to protect us so it was up to me. I remember a knock on the door, and they were Soviet soldiers accompanied by some Afghans that sided with the Russians. They asked me, 'why the hell didn't you come to work this morning?'” My father describes getting in the car and leaving �his worried family at home, which included his parents and 5 younger siblings. Back at the radio station, he was made to read a statement. “It made me sound like I was on the Russians' side,” my father continued. “It made me sound bad. For years after, people would ask me why I read that statement. It told people that [the Soviets] were there to save Afghanistan and that they should not worry. People hated me for it. They didn't know that I read that with a kalashnikov pointed at my head. I had never had a gun pointed at me like that before.” My mother (now separated from my father) lived right across from the Soviet embassy in Kabul. She fled in 1982 on a bus to the border with Pakistan. Her comments were also in her native Dari, translated to English by myself. “We paid the guards at the border. They let us cross. People were making money of refugees cross the border, obviously.” My mother's side of the family stayed in Pakistan for 2.5 years before leaving for France and the Netherlands as political refugees. My father was lucky enough to be able to leave Afghanistan before major fighting broke out. “The airport was locked down but the soldiers knew me and did me a favor. On the plane to Amsterdam, there were mostly Westerners and reporters from the BBC. They were drinking and taking shots because they were so happy to leave unharmed.” His parents stayed in Kabul until 1992, when a major civil war broke out between fighting factions. “I became the first political refugee in the Netherlands." My parents settled in a town outside of The Hague in the Netherlands. I was born there myself in 1987, two years before the Soviet withdrawal of Afghanistan. Due to the continuous civil strife during the 90s and insecurity in the past decade, I have been unable to travel to my motherland. All my family has left Afghanistan and has been able to live relatively successful middle class lifestyles all over the world. What happened in 1979 ensured that my family would �scatter all across the globe. I have immediate family members in Toronto, Canada and Sydney, Australia. I have dozens of family members in France, Germany and The Netherlands. My father continued his career in journalism as he left Kabul. He is now managing editor of the Voice of America's Afghan service, which broadcasts live television to Afghanistan on a daily basis. � Afghanistan https://www.memory.ctevans.net/files/original/38253996d81a30a0f1c2efb010182556.pdf facb3358ec49f9bca096203e7040a53c Document A resource containing textual data.

Ashley * Due to the draft, almost all families, including mine were involved and affected by World War II in some way, shape or form. My grandparents on my father’s side are not alive today, but I do know my grandmother was at Pearl Harbor the day it was bombed and had to evacuate at the age of 12 and her father was in the Navy. My Jewish grandparents on my mother’s side is where I accumulated most of my information about the country’s state after the War and how did it personally affect them. During World War II my grandfather, who was a Sergeant in the Army-Air Force and served until he was separated from the military a year after the War had ended. He then traveled to Florida to live out his dream as being a Meteorologist and was hired by the weather bureau. A year later he met my grandmother who was greatly affected by the War. During the War my grandmother worked at a Buick war plant manufacturing buses for the army in Chicago. She had four brothers who were all drafted into the military at that time. The oldest died in 1944 in Italy. The others survived and after the war, left the military and all were involved in the family’s used car business, which did not have much business after the war due to a lack of inventory. My great great-grandmother and 7 of her children (6 brothers the youngest was a two week old, and one sister) to include all their families who lived on a farm in Lithuania were killed during the Holocaust. They were marched out of their houses early morning, �stripped of all their clothes and belongings, were told to dig a mass graves and shot to death. Basically, my great great-grandmother’s entire family except for her was killed that day. This was very devastating, but my grandmother did not receive verification until 1960 after contacting the Red Cross because their letters kept getting returned. My family, since then have tried to recover all the land in Lithuanian that my great great-randfather owned, but they stated that unless my grandmother became a resident they could not receive the land. Even then, their records were not that accurate so I do not even know if she would receive all that was owed to her. After the War there was a lot of racism towards the Jews in America for a long time. My grandparents live in Montgomery County in Maryland and when they first moved there in 1950 there would be signs stating No Jews allowed in some places and parks. My grandfather states that the unemployment rate for the veterans after World War II were very high, the government introduced the GI Bill so soldiers were able to go back to school and get their degree, which a lot of veterans utilized. In conclusion, my entire family was involved in War World II and was affected by the aftermath just like millions of other families. It was a sad and desperate time for a lot of people trying to digest what was left over from War World II and all the missing people and deaths. Though, World War II greatly impacted our country and brought on social, cultural, and economic movements that would change history and lead us in the right direction. � https://www.memory.ctevans.net/files/original/e3c2a3fba18d0b9a826fc091e6c0e115.pdf ad91b15c4030a7aef119fe593a3a247c Document A resource containing textual data.
