Latvians in Michigan

"Latvians in Michigan examines Latvia and its history, and describes how World War II culminated in famine and eventual flight for many Latvians. After the war ended, most Latvian emigrants made their way to Sweden or Germany, where they lived in displaced persons camps. From there, emigrants were sponsored by individuals or organizations and moved to other parts of the world. Many came to the United States, where they established new roots and tried to perpetuate their cultural heritage while establishing new lives."--Jacket.
