Balzekas Museum of Lithuanian Culture is inviting to its exhibit "No Home to Go To - the Story of Baltic Displaced Persons, 1944-1952" at the New York Public Library's branch of Science, October 7 - December 31, 2016.
"Seventy years ago, Baltic people by the hundreds of thousands left their homes to avoid war and the threat of Soviet oppression. They fled to the West by any means they could find. They traveled in fear and with hope of survival. But most overwhelmingly, they fled without knowing where they were going, what would happen, or when they might return. “No Home To Go To” features the words, images, and artifacts of Lithuanian, Latvian, and Estonian families and individuals who lived through this wrenching flight from home, years of living in displaced persons camps, and, finally, the journey to a new life in an unknown part of the world," says the introduction to exhibit.
Among hundreds of thousands of displaced families, there was the Kazickas family as well. Their story passed down from generation to generation is written in Dr. J.oseph and Alexandra Kazickas' biography 'Odyssey of Hope" as well.
Kazickas Family Foundation has been a proud supporter of Balzekas Museum of Lithuanian Culture for the last few years.
