Kacel was 20 when German troops attacked the Soviet Union in 1941, passing through and occupying Riga, Latvia, where he had grown up. He recounts being relocated to a Jewish ghetto in the slum, the separation of his family and death of many members, his escape from the Nazi and liberation by US armed forces, his move to the US in 1947, and his eventual reuniting with his father.
