Elena Kudaba was an acclaimed young actress in Lithuania when WWII threatened to rob her of that dream. She escaped as a refugee just as her homeland fell behind the Iron Curtain of Soviet occupation. She emigrated to Hamilton in 1949. Within months of arriving, Elena Kudaba founded an amateur theatre troupe called Aukuras (Eternal Flame) for her community. Her career rose as dramatically as the curtain itself.
