Description

A stirring and haunting personal account of the Soviet and German occupations of Latvia and of the Holocaust.

Michelson had a serene boyhood in an upper middle-class Jewish family in Riga, Latvia at least until 1940, when the fifteen-year old Michelson witnessed the annexation of Latvia by the Soviet Union.

Private properties were nationalised, and Stalin's terror spread to Soviet Latvia.

Soon after, Michelson's family was torn apart by the 1941 Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union.

He quickly lost his entire family, while witnessing the unspeakable brutalities of war and genocide.

Michelson's memoir is an ode to his lost family.
