Flight of Remembrance A World War II Family Odyssey with Marina Kirsch - Thursday Night Speaker Series In-Person
Join us for an enlightening, insightful evening with Marina Kirsch, author of Flight of Remembrance. Kirsch 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.
