Reluctant Citizen pending translation
This little book was left behind by my father, Eric Pempe. He used the pseudonym John Winglap. It 's about being a young man about to become a physical education teacher in a geographic area about to be devastated by invasions.
The main city is Memel/Klaipeda, in 1939 and a few years around then. The edge of Lithuania.
It's a short pseudo-memoir, a little over 100 pages. Written in English, one of his six languages.
Lithuanian emigres have discovered it. Much of the history of that time was suppressed by the Soviet occupation for nearly 50 years! Thus there is a HUNGER for stories--what happened, how did you cope, did you make it?
I've gotten an inquiry to translate the book into Lithuanian.
You just never know... My father's little book has three five-star reviews, too.
