Lithuania, about 1939. This is Kadis, the husband of my Dad's twin sister, Jonė. It's a passport photo—the edge of the image has the "Republic of Lithuania" stamp. I don't know whether Kadis used it for his internal passport or whether he planned to travel abroad. At this time, however, he likely didn't imagine that he soon would land in Salzburg, Austria as a Displaced Person.

If he got out before the war, he was lucky.
Most people fled in July 1944. That's when the second Soviet occupation began.
