Son follows map to find hoard of treasure his relatives buried 80 years ago
A treasure hoard buried by a family fleeing the Second World War has been discovered after their son followed a map to find it.The Glazewski family buried their silver and fled their estate in eastern Poland in September 1939 after hearing that the Russians were invading.
Only Adam, the head of the family, stayed behind to face the Russians, who threw him off his land, and nearly executed him before his staff intervened.
Faced with a life under Soviet rule, his four sons never returned to their home near Lviv – today part of Ukraine, and each settled in a different corner of the world.
But the legend of the family treasure survived.
