In this photo, my Mom is a new refugee. She is dressed in the same coat that she wore in happier times in Lithuania. Mom also wears a black arm band because her Mother, Jadzė, had just died. Jadzė passed away shortly before Mom fled Lithuania.
Mom believes that had Jadzė been alive in the summer of 1944, during the second Soviet occupation, then the family would never have left the country. Jadzė was very attached to the house that she and Jake built. Mom thinks Jadzė never would have left that home behind.
Unknown location, Germany, Autumn 1944. What lies ahead?
