Your grandmother could also have been given the ring by someone who was grateful for something special she did for that person. Not all displaced persons came from concentration camps. There were also refugees, some of whom managed to smuggle jewellery in the seams of their clothing. A grateful refugee could have given it to your grandmother. This happened to my grandmother when she had taken refugees into her home during the last year of the war. After the war the refugee family was lucky enough to return home, and the mother of the family gave my grandmother a ring she had smuggled in her clothing, as a way of thanking her.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
