A Brighton Beach organization started by a Holocaust survivor is giving back by gifting turkeys to Ukrainian mothers who fled the country during the war.

A line stood outside the headquarters of the Holocaust Remembrance Association on Neptune Avenue. Most of these recipients were invited to pick up turkeys and pies in preparation for their first American Thanksgiving.

"It's our new family," says Alyona Strutovska, who fled Ukraine and is now in America alone.

The HRA was founded by Samuel Bykov, a Holocaust survivor, himself from Ukraine, who came to New York in 1979 as a refugee fleeing the Soviet Union.

"This idea came to us to help ladies, refugees who came with children over here. Their husbands active with war, over there, and we decided to help these mothers and their children," he told CBS2's Hannah Kliger.

I saw on TV that 2000. and perhaps more in other programs, turkeys and complete meals were distributed in poor areas of Wahington, DC.
