Janina Nawarskas gave a presentation and book signing of her memoir, A Child Lost at the April 27th WWII Veterans Discussion Group meeting. Janina told how in 1945, as a child in Lithuania, her family fled the oncoming Soviet military. Separated from her father and brothers, she and her mother were placed in a detention center. When Janina's mother died, she was left to fend for herself and wandered through refugee camps. A year after the end of the war, Janina was reunited with her father and brothers through the help of American soldiers and moved to the U.S. Janina thanks America 'the greatest country in the world.'
