This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Along with thousands of refugees fleeing the Soviet invasion of Eastern Europe, a young couple and their baby left Lithuania in the summer of 1944. They expected to return home at the end of the war but instead had to move further west into war-ravaged Germany, ahead of the approaching Soviet army. After miraculously surviving bombings and near starvation, they ended their flight in displaced persons' camps under American administration. In these camps three more children were born and a grandmother died. Unable to return to communist-occupied Lithuania, they found the chance to start a new life when a helpful stranger invited them to the United States. This memoir, created by their two daughters Audrone and Danute, aims to preserve knowledge of family history for the generations born in the United States who, not knowing Lithuanian, cannot access the information contained in journals, letters, and photos. The authors' father had chronicled the family's odyssey in a journal written in Lithuanian. This memoir includes translated excerpts from his journal in which he recorded his memories of pre-war Lithuania, his childhood on a farm, and his efforts to gain an education. He recounted the fate of relatives who remained behind, some of whom perished in Siberian exile. His journal provides insights into a complex era, in a country struggling to remain independent between two brutal dictators - Hitler and Stalin. In this fairly typical narrative of World War II refugees who come to America, readers will find a unique set of characters and unexpected twists of fate. Equally important here is the story of cultural transition, the often-painful adaptations to a new culture, along with the struggle to preserve one's own traditions and identity. This family history shows how much each generation has inherited from the past: we are complex, hybrid fruits on a transplanted tree.

Download or read book White Field, Black Sheep written by Daiva Markelis and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-11-15 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Her parents never really explained what a D.P. was. Years later Daiva Markelis learned that “displaced person” was the designation bestowed upon European refugees like her mom and dad who fled communist Lithuania after the war. Growing up in the Chicago suburb of Cicero, though, Markelis had only heard the name T.P., since her folks pronounced the D as a T: “In first grade we had learned about the Plains Indians, who had lived in tent-like dwellings made of wood and buffalo skin called teepees. In my childish confusion, I thought that perhaps my parents weren’t Lithuanian at all, but Cherokee. I went around telling people that I was the child of teepees.” So begins this touching and affectionate memoir about growing up as a daughter of Lithuanian immigrants. Markelis was raised during the 1960s and 1970s in a household where Lithuanian was the first language. White Field, Black Sheep derives much of its charm from this collision of old world and new: a tough but cultured generation that can’t quite understand the ways of America and a younger one weaned on Barbie dolls and The Brady Bunch, Hostess cupcakes and comic books, The Monkees and Captain Kangaroo. Throughout, Markelis recalls the amusing contortions of language and identity that animated her childhood. She also humorously recollects the touchstones of her youth, from her First Communion to her first game of Twister. Ultimately, she revisits the troubles that surfaced in the wake of her assimilation into American culture: the constricting expectations of her family and community, her problems with alcoholism and depression, and her sometimes contentious but always loving relationship with her mother. Deftly recreating the emotional world of adolescence, but overlaying it with the hard-won understanding of adulthood, White Field, Black Sheep is a poignant and moving memoir—a lively tale of this Lithuanian-American life.

Book excerpt: Aušra Paulauskienė’s book Lost and Found: The Discovery of Lithuania in American Fiction targets American as well as European scholars in the fields of literature, ethnic studies and immigration. The author discovers obscure texts on Lithuania and alerts Western and Eastern academia to their significance as well as the reasons for their neglect. For the first time, Abraham Cahan’s autobiography The Education of Abraham Cahan and Ezra Brudno’s autobiographical novel The Fugitive receive an extensive coverage, while Goldie Stone’s My Caravan of Years and Margaret Seebach’s That Man Donaleitis (sic) receive their first scholarly consideration ever. The author argues that misrepresentations, misattributions and exclusions of Lithuanian legacy in the U.S. were produced by major political events of the twentieth century.

Download or read book Finding Your Roots, Season 2 written by Henry Louis Gates Jr. and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2016-01-28 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who are we, and where do we come from? The fundamental drive to answer these questions is at the heart of Finding Your Roots, the companion book to the hit PBS documentary series. As scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. clearly demonstrates, the tools of cutting-edge genomics and deep genealogical research now allow us to learn more about our roots and look further back in time than ever before. In the second season, Gates's investigation takes on the personal and genealogical histories of more than twenty luminaries, including Ken Burns, Stephen King, Derek Jeter, Governor Deval Patrick, Valerie Jarrett, and Sally Field. As Gates interlaces these moving stories of immigration, assimilation, strife, and success, he provides practical information for amateur genealogists just beginning archival research on their own families' roots and details the advances in genetic research now available to the public. The result is an illuminating exploration of who we are, how we lost track of our roots, and how we can find them again.
