Indeed. After WW2, my grandmother sponsored a former employee to emigrate to the US from Austria. She lived with my grandmother for the rest of her life. She told me, my sisters, and cousins that life under Soviet occupation after the war was worse than under Nazi German occupation during the war. I cannot even imagine the horrible experiences she endured.
