  • Summary

  • In this episode, we talk with Banuta Rubess, whose family is from Latvia and who was born in Toronto.

    She is a theater artist and writer, and a theater instructor, who has been researching and writing about her father’s experience during WW2 in Latvia, feeling squeezed between the Nazis on one side and the Soviets on the other, perceiving that neither side were friends of Latvia.

    You can learn more about Banuta, her history, and her writing and theater art on her website. And, you can see her play The Trojan Women here.

    The song we play at the end is I Love It Here, I Live Here by Luge, with her daughter Kaiva on vocals.

    If you want to help in Ukraine, the aid organization that Banuta mentions in this piece is Stopify. They provide practical on-the-ground assistance like medical supplies, walkie-talkies, and so on via small but regular monthly donations.
