Yes.

My paternal grandfather was simply a very successful businessman my maternal great grandfather was one of the founders of the first Albanian Congress mayor of my city and attorney overall and.

In 1943, before communism really took over the country, they were eliminating the elite of the country, which included my maternal, my grandfather's, my mother's grandfather.

And that's where all the communist horror started.

They murdered him, assassinated him in the street while he was walking with my grandfather.

And everything went on from there.

They took all of our properties.

You didn't even own yourself, doctor.
