About Baltic Amber In A Chest
Review A poetic saga of a family caught up in the maelstrom of World War II, surviving brutal years in both Nazi and Soviet concentration camps and eventually jettisoned like shrapnel into the ranks of Displaced Persons who try to mend their damaged lives as refugees in America. With vivid lyricism the author reveals her own often anguished childhood and, melding past and present through poetry and art, and her parents' weathered documents as a guide, finds solace in her own loving family and her art. A very compelling read! --Algis Ruksenas Product Description A poetic saga of a family caught up in the maelstrom of World War II, surviving brutal years in both Nazi and Soviet concentration camps and eventually jettisoned like shrapnel into the ranks of Displaced Persons who try to mend their damaged lives as refugees in America.
