Mystery of wartime friendship may never be unravelled

Article Abstract:

Russian Jew Anatoly Shandalov feels that he has constantly lived with the consequences of his meeting in May 1945 in Lvov, Ukraine, with Frederick Grace and James Logie, British sergeants from the military mission in the town. He was interested in English literature and spoke to the sergeants out of a desire to improve his English. This meeting was to have serious consequences, as he was arrested by the security police in 1950, tortured and imprisoned until 1956. He was never able to make contact with the two sergeants again.
