Marko Vruhnec, born in Ljubljana, Slovenia, 1922. “In 1940, the Italians occupied, then the Germans and Hungarians arrived. In 1941, my father was sentenced to 30 years in prison. My mother was sent to a concentration camp. I was taken to Italy and imprisoned. Soon after that I joined the Slovenian partisans with my sister. My father escaped from prison; we were reunited in 1945. After the war, I returned to Ljubljana and searched for my girlfriend; we married immediately. She had also been imprisoned and tortured. Five days before the war ended, I learned my sister had been killed”. (Photo and caption by Sasha Maslov)
