Covering the horrors that took place in Latvia from the beginning of the Second World War until 1947, this book focuses on the heart of the 20th century: Stalinist industrialization, collectivization and political annihilation; Nazi expansionism and genocide; with local nationalism, local nationalist rivalries, and local anti-Semitism. The author traces the developments in one particular region of Latvia, Daugavpils. There, the dilemma of Hitler or Stalin, the ideological struggle of fascism or communism was more acute than anywhere else in Europe since the population was actively involved in establishing both.

During the Holocaust, thousands of Jews from Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia, and later Hungary were transported to Latvia, where they were concentrated in the Riga Ghetto and in extermination camps--joining the thousands of Latvian Jews who were already interned there. Only a few hundred survived. The Unfinished Road collects the remembrances of thirteen of these survivors and combined with the story of a Latvian-Swedish Jewish businessman-negotiator, who worked to save concentration camp victims, it combines a portrait of unbelievable courage and endurance with another of unspeakable brutality.

In 1944, Vieda Skultans left Latvia as a six month-old refugee. In 1990, she returned for the first time. This remarkable book is both a personal account of a homecoming, and an anthropology of a nation trying to come to terms with its past and facing an uncertain future. Based on more than one hundred interviews carried out in the wake of Latvian independence, it gives voice to the stories that could not be told under Soviet rule - stories of dispossession and exile, and of ambiguous returns. At the same time it unpicks the process of memory itself, showing how personal memory is shaped by the traditional narratives of national history and culture.
