TWO TO BE REMEMBERED, author Matt Gavin's 270-page book with vintage photographs, is the very personal, touching, and gripping biography of his wife's parents, Ernest and Frederika Flissinger, a couple steeped in Dutch-Indonesian heritage, who grew up in paradisiacal settings, then suffered the terrible hardships of the Japanese invasion of Java in World War II and the subsequent Indonesian uprising. Inspired by the Flissingers' moving remembrances recounted year after year, Gavin has been able to take the reader back to a time and place rarely depicted. It is a story of miraculous survival and eventual emigration to a safe, rewarding life in America.
