Topic: "Candles for the Defiant"
Presenter: Kaia Gallagher, Local Author
Through her family memoir, Candles for the Defiant, Discovering my Family's Estonian Past, Kaia describes the stubborn determination shown by the citizens of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania as they struggled to defend their country’s independence both during and after World War II. This story is one of patriotism and determination that reveals the resilience of the Baltic people and their enduring commitment to freedom, democracy and independence despite the odds against them.
