When she was about 11 years old, Myroslawa Iwachiw recalled living on the second floor of a farmhouse in Germany as World War II was ending and sharing a room with her 6-year-old sister and a 2-year-old boy of another family seeking refuge.
Myroslawa “Myra” Iwachiw, 88, smiles at her home in Munster, Indiana Thursday March 31, 2022. Born in Lisnyky, Ukraine in 1933, Iwachiw and her family traveled to the United States in 1944.
Iwachiw, who goes by Myra, was born in 1933 in a little village outside of Berezhany, Ukraine, called Lisnyky. She had two sisters, one older and one younger, and her parents, Petro and Paraskevia, were farmers, she said. Iwachiw said she attended very little school as a young girl because Russia and then Poland occupied Ukraine. When Germany occupied Ukraine, she went to school for a couple months but then World War II started, she said.»
“It was hard. No one gave us any food, except in Czechoslovakia. We lived on our own, whatever my mother had,” Iwachiw said. Her family stayed at the farm for about one year, Iwachiw said, as the war came to the end and its aftermath. Her family then ended up in Bayreuth, Germany, living in a bombed-out school.
