I remember her well I was very close to her sister Neonila, my grandma. I finally worked out the horror of what they went through the war. They gave us a good life, particularly in Brisbane living by the Brisbane river ..my childhood and education was an enjoyment. I remember Pa .. Paulo Korschenko as a very generous and giving smart man. My father Anatole (Tony) passed away in 2005. I have Alex Krasnow ashes and plan to release them at Townsville air base runway soon.

I remember Baba Tonia as a child. She was the sweetest lady and very special to my grandmother Noenila. She was a lady who I was sad to see go back to Canada after she visited us in Australia. She was a very good woman and loved her family. - Posted by: Louisa korschenko (Neice) on: Feb 11, 2014
