In this episode I'll share the powerful story of my father’s escape from communist Bulgaria in 1949 and eventual arrival in New Zealand in 1951 as a Displaced Person. It is a story of escape, freedom and perseverance. It is a story that at times raises more questions than providing illumination. It's also a story of how world history impacts family history and all the complications for genealogy researchers that arise when borders, political systems and language change.

Background information: Approximately 5,000 WWII DPs arrived in NZ in the late 1940s early 1950s: 2,000 from Eastern Europe (sailed on the Goya) and 3,000 from western Europe. Many DPs spent 6 weeks at the Pahiatua Camp learning English prior to being given Ministry of Works employment during the settlement phase. In total 90 Bulgarians came to NZ as DPs.
