Born in Rīga in 1937, Vaira Vīķe-Freiberga fled the country with her family ahead of the invading Soviet Army, arriving in Germany where she spent much of her childhood in a displaced-persons’ camp. The family emigrated to Canada where she gained her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in psychology and a PhD in experimental psychology. In 1998, repatriated to Latvia, she became director of the Latvian Institute and a year later was elected Latvia’s president.
