Latviam immigrants arrive in MichiganBy Barbara BruverisAll Latvian DPs who arrived in Michigan during the post war years 1949 - 1951; and their descendants should find this book of a great historical value.My husband reviewed this book; and he and his parents did arrive in Kalamazoo; MI in 1949.5 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Latvians in MichiganBy Janet HowellLatvians in Michigan is a wonderful book full of factual and personal glimpses of the Latvian families who came to America in the late 1940s when the Communists took over their homeland. The history is facinating and the personal journeys many of our Latvian neighbors and friends made were captivating reading. I have a new understanding and reverence for their customs; intelligence; the many gifts they bring to our communities and their commitment to preserving their country's traditions. There are many recipes for Latvian food and I loved the personal accounts told by those who attended and sent their children to the Latvian camp at Long Lake; Three Rivers; Michigan. I highly recommend this book for its readability; history and humanity. Bravo; Dr. Meija! Janet Howell-Obert
