This book is a historical narrative of 20th century chaos and the personal story of Herbert Alexander Niiler. Born in the Estonian province of the Tsarist Russian Empire in 1905, he lived through revolutions, wars, and occupations perpetrated by Nazi and Soviet invaders alike. Niiler left Europe in the wave of post-WWII refugees, settled in Pittsburgh and died in 1982, as the Cold War was thawing. Supplemented by memories of his children, Niiler recounts how his confidence, perseverance, and positive outlook triumphed over the brutality and hardship he and his family faced midst Europe's WWII chaos. A leader in the YMCA movement, Niiler became a triumphant and contented man, devoted to his family and his love of sports |
