Marina Kirsch, author of Flight of Remembrance, will present her family’s true story of resilience and new beginnings from World War II with many parallels drawn to today’s war in Ukraine. Her father, a young Latvian engineering student was forced to flee his homeland in 1939 before the first Soviet takeover, at a time when the only nation offering refuge was Nazi Germany. Hear his story of meeting the author’s mother in 1940 Berlin, being drafted into the Luftwaffe (the German airforce), and forging a new beginning in America after the war with a key role in the U.S. space program. Books will be available for $20.00 each. This program is made possible by a grant from New Hampshire Humanities (nhhumanities.org). Free program. All are welcome.
