Jurgis Blekaitis
Jurgis Blekaitis (July 8, 1917 Kellomäki, Finland – June 25, 2007 Laurel, Maryland) was a Lithuanian American poet, theater producer, and former editor for the Voice of America.
==Early life==
Blekaitis was born in Kellomäki, Finland, (which at the time was still part of the Russian Empire) while his family was on vacation.〔 His father worked in the Russian czar's army. The Blekaitis family lived in St. Petersburg.〔 However, the Russian Revolution erupted just months after Blekaitis's birth.〔
The Blekaitis family escaped the effects of the revolution in St. Petersburg by fleeing to the family's hometown of Birstonas, Lithuania.〔 (Lithuania gained independence from Russia following the Russian Revolution). Blekaitis learned Polish, his mother's native tongue, as well as Russian and Lithuanian. Throughout the rest of his life Blekaitis would continue to learn new languages. He eventually also learned English, French and German.〔 Blekaitis earned a degree in theater from Vytautas Magnus University in Kaunas, Lithuania, and began work as an actor and director.〔
Blekaitis was nearly sent to a concentration camp in Liepāja, Latvia with other Lithuanian intellectuals near the end of World War II.〔 However, with the advance of the Soviet army, Blekaitis was forced to flee to a refugee camp in Germany.〔 While in Germany, Blekaitis enrolled in a Freiburg art school.〔 He helped organize acting troupes and toured several refugee camps throughout Germany.〔
