When I first met Ku Adams and heard the story of her family and their tumultuous escape from Estonia at the end of World War II, fleeing literally just moments ahead of rumbling Russian tanks coming down their street in the dark of night, I knew immediately that this was a story well worth the telling. Even today this story is being re-lived again, across the globe. There are thousands upon thousands of displaced persons, struggling first to survive, and then to re-invent themselves in a totally new environment. We need to pay attention. Marilyn Smith Neilans
