About the editor: With tears in my eyes I read your article about the descendants of Ukrainian Holocaust survivors who helped the descendants of the family that sheltered their ancestors during World War II.

My late mother was from Kharkov, Ukraine (now known as Kharkiv). She was a survivor who never talked about what really happened with her parents, brother and a sister who didn’t survive. She was “lucky” to be evacuated to Siberia and live.

It is a lesson to be learned when reading about the justice of the Bogancha family during World War II and how now a group of individuals have come together to help the descendants of this family during the current war in Ukraine. At a time when anti-Semitism is on the rise and more and more people are choosing to deny or not remember the past, I am happy to see this emotional story on the front page and the day before Passover.

As mentioned in your article, good deeds are paid back 1000 times.

About the editor: What a moving article about the Ukrainian Bogancha family and their son who is studying in Santa Monica.

I am part of a group from the Adat Shalom Congregation in West LA and Temple Akiba in Culver City that helps house the rest of the family once they arrive in Santa Monica or Culver City from Austria. We are affiliated with and supported by HIAS, an organization that helps resettle refugees. Your arrival will be another joyous reunion at LAX.

My father was personally supported by HIAS 100 years ago this year. Helping this Ukrainian refugee family is an extremely important effort.

About the editor: I was thrilled when I saw the front page of Tuesday’s LA Times. There was no war, no corruption, no tornadoes, no floods, no murders.

There was a great feature about how one generation helped another in modern times. it was heart

It’s nice to read about good people helping each other.

I was amazed how Marina Orlovetsky found Anna Dawson, a Ukrainian Holocaust survivor living in the US, and then Alex Bogancha in Ukraine. I cried when I read that Anna died just before Alex came to the US. I laughed when I read that Alex loves LA and has been to the beach, Santa Monica Pier, Malibu and Hollywood and I look forward to visiting Disneyland when the rest of his family arrives.

Thanks for reporting this uplifting story.
