I lost my grandmother last month, I’d like to share a bit about her life. Her name was Janina Garbień, she was an incredible woman and a real unsung hero. She was 95. She was born in 1925 in Wojutycze/Voyutychi, then Poland and now Ukraine. Her father was from Warsaw but worked in a vodka factory there since being held there as a POW by Austro-Hungarian forces in WWI. He moved his family back to Warsaw in the early 30s.
