(Batchelor family photo)This story is part of the My Unsung Hero series, from the Hidden Brain team. A few months into her trip, she got on a night train to Greece from what was then known as Yugoslavia. About an hour later, two young men came and forcefully pulled her up by her arm. And that’s exactly what they did on that night train in 1980.”My Unsung Hero is also a podcast — new episodes are released every Tuesday.
