A Family Tree

<p>As I get older I wonder more about the past and who came before me. Who am I? Who are any of us? We're all a mix of other families other experiences and memories. Everyone arrives in the world at the bottom of a double helix stretching back to people who we have never even have heard of. The past contains many gaps silences and half truths. They're all important some can be unravelled some remain part of the ongoing story. Diana Good tells the vivid and moving stories of her family tree from mining Lancashire to the First World War to Jewish immigration from Russia and Hungary surviving Auschwitz Kuomintang China and escaping the Russian tanks as they rolled into Budapest in 1956. </p>
