DoDo, have you thought of take videos of your family recollecting those events ?

Oooh, I am not big in making pictures of persons. I know my father is, maybe he would like to do such things. But it is a question whether the intended video stars would feel comfortable with a camera permanently pointing at them.

I have this Ukrainian friend who recently told me stories of how her parents survived in WWII, in Western Ukraine, I was spellbound. I am planning to take a video, as soon as I manage to convince her.

Wow! If you do so, I hope you'll bring a diary! This would be of special interest to me, the conduct of the later encircled and lost Second Hungarian Army during WWII (which was across Ukraine) being the big black hole of history in Hungarian schools and media. (blackhawk already suggested that it wasn't pretty at all.)

Oh, you'll be surprised how older people very rarely object, they even seem to understand what is at stake. Everyone soon forgets the camera. And it takes zero filmmaking knowhow. Give it a try, just once.

How do I say it; it's not the knowhow but my predilection... stuff like this is the most I could get myself to in picturing people.

OK, I will suggest my father to do it next time I call him.
