Exile from Latvia: My WWII Childhood - From Survival to Opportunity

#897
Title: Exile from Latvia: My WWII Childhood - From Survival to Opportunity
Author: Harry G. Kapeikis
Publisher: Trafford
Country: Latvia
Year: 2007
314 pages

A self-published memoir that, while not well-written or literary, is an interesting and useful narrative of Kapeikis's family's flight from Latvia to Germany, then through two DP camps to the US. I don't read many non-Jewish autobiographies of this sort, so it was useful for comparison, if sometimes tediously descriptive of Boy Scouting activities.

Read with From Tajikistan to the Moon.
