   Oh yeah, both the greatgrandmothers I talked to closely and especially the one who raised me (was making plane engines under Tupolev) were great at understanding that stuff. They truly, deeply Got It.

     My greatgrandmother who stayed in Skaushin in Belarus had all of her children killed by nazis poisoning a well while she was gone with partisans. She chased these guys down and flayed them alive, and fed the remnants to pigs.
