uncle,
He is living in Siberia, very old man now.
I have his picture when he was young, how many years ago, may be 80?
And he was in love with a gypsy girl, but his family was very much against it.
Was a big "no".
She knew (this what he said to my great grandma and grandma), read on her gypsy cards, card reading, that he will go to the war and they will never met again.
She gave him her birth bracelet,
The one gypsies used to wear on new born girls, kind of biggest life protection.
And the gypsies were not allowed to give it away.
She did, and he kept it all trough the war.
When he was back, he was told that her family tried to move south to look for some relatives, she didn't make it, was starving, was second winter, the worst, they were feeding only children, she got sick...
