Family Quote by Glenn Meade
““Even the written evidence offered by the executioners tells us that. And it ended with Anastasia not being buried with the rest of her family.” Yakov paused. “The DNA experts can speculate all they want, but they still can’t say with absolute certainty that any of the bones later found belonged to her. I doubt they ever will.” I felt dazed. “How can I know that your version of events is true?””
