Characters

Man

You are a man in your late sixties, born in the Ukraine, and immigrated to Canada nearly fifty years ago.  During WW II, when you were fifteen you were arrested, separated from your family and taken to Germany; you have not seen or heard from them since.  In 1959 you received a letter from a cousin who informed you that your parents had disappeared.  He included a photo and address of your brother in Moscow, and the address of your sister who was imprisoned in Siberia.  He cautioned you not to try to contact any of them for fear of endangering them.  Since the fall of the former USSR you have often wondered if you could find them.  The addresses provided by your cousin years ago have been lost.  Some of your friends have returned to Russia for a visit and have informed you that it is safe to go, but you still feel afraid of the government.  You have heard that the Red Cross helps people to locate missing relatives and you have mustered enough courage to come and see what can be done.
