The Weight of Old Wounds: A Family Story from Lublin to London

My name is Kasia Kowalska, and I have carried the ache of betrayal for decades. Today, as I sit in my small London flat, I wrestle with the decision of whether to let my great-grandmother meet her great-grandchild, knowing I have never forgiven her for what she did. Perhaps if I write it all down, the burden will finally ease.
