| 520 | |a In this riveting memoir, a small family fights to survive during World War II-- first the Soviet and then the Nazi occupation of their native Lithuania. In 1944, as the communists return and their home is destroyed, they leave all they've know, determined to have a chance at life. On foot, then by horse and cart, they scavenge and beg their way through the ravaged lands of Prussia and Poland into Germany. The end of the war does not provide relief-- they're placed in a displaced person camp and pressured to go back "home" to Stalin's rule in Lithuania, where certain exile to Siberia awaits. When Father and Dalia, aged eleven, are allowed to go to England, it is on the condition that she lives with foster parents. If they don't like her, the family must return to the camp. Life in post-war Britain is demeaning to refugees, and immigrating to America feels impossible-- but with courage and determination, they achieve their dream of a better life in this inspiring tale of love and sacrifice. | ||
