Teacher, author and community worker. Lucija Berzins was born at Tartu in Estonia in 1907. She arrived in Australia with her husband in 1949 and taught at various secondary schools in Sydney. Berzins was a foundation member of the Latvian Press Association, as well as serving several times with the executive of the Australian Latvian Association. From 1975 to 1982, she was in the Education Section of the Ethnic Communities' Council, and in 1977 achieved her goal of obtaining recognition for Latvian as a matriculation subject in New South Wales. After her retirement Berzins published five novels, between 1973 and 1986, all dealing with the life of the Latvian community in exile in Australia and Europe. These were followed by memoirs of her years in Russia, Germany and Australia.
