Florence Anselmo, Head of the Central Tracing Agency: "People going missing, families getting separated, families not knowing what has happened to their loved ones."

\xa0Now it\u2019s busy letting Russian and Ukrainian families know what has happened to their sons.

\xa0Anastasia Kushleyko, CTA: "I\u2019m calling from the ICRC, I\u2019m calling from Geneva and this is the Central Tracing Agency. As of last week he was safe and well. He\u2019s healthy."

\xa0The tracing agency keeps its records forever.

Jelena Milosevic Lepotic: "A grandchild of someone who was in the second world war, you would be able to find information on your grandfather: when he was captured, where he was held, and what happened to him."

\xa0Because families will always need to know.

Florence Anselmo: "Families do not stop searching. The need to know crosses generations. If parents do not have answers their children will look for answers and their grandchildren will look for answers."
