Alexandra Feodorovna / Living Memory
« on: February 12, 2015, 01:59:24 AM »
It is with profound sadness that I see Nicholas, Alexandra, and their five children slipping from living memory. When I was born, they had died only 42 years earlier - well within living memory of large numbers of people. Today, one would have to be at least 96 to have been alive before the Imperial family died. I read recently that there remains only one person reliably known to have been born in the 1800s, a woman who was born in 1899 - the same year as Grand Duchess Maria. She'll be 116 this year, if she's still alive.
I wonder if there's anybody still alive today who has personal recollections of the NAOTMAA. Does anybody know? If so, he or she would have been a mere child then, and very old today.
