I'm trying to begin a story where a boy watches the murder of his parents by occupying soldiers, preferably hiding under a car on a rainy, cobblestone road. It would have to involve some kind of military occupation, one that would involve mistreatment of civillians. I want the story to begin there, but skip ahead to present, where the boy has grown up and is now between 27 and 32 years old. He would have to be able to end up in the U.S.A., and have learned a few languages.
I want his ethnicity to be something close to middle eastern, dark skinned, but not black, or even possibly European caucasion. I don't care whether he would have had the chance to be educated, because I'm going to escape him to another location where he will be educated.
Any ideas on a good location, time, and ethnicity? I'll do all the research, I just need a starting point. Thanks for all your help!

In other words, around 30 years ago or so.

Eastern Europe would be a good setting. The Soviets were behind horrible atrocities in places like Poland and Hungary where many people died. It would be a good start!
Good luck!

I think that the location should be one of those European countreis like denmark etc.
