The story is told through the letters of the Neisser [and Nothmann] family, which have been meticulously translated and arranged by Walter's niece, Eva, who also provides moving historical contextualization and commentary. After fleeing Germany, the Neissers resettled in Peru. However, their flight was neither easy nor seamless. [Walter took odd jobs until he founded and grew a large electrical appliance business. He also would become socially active in the Lima community]. Walter worked tirelessly to provide the resources and guidance necessary for the many members of the family to escape, but communications to Europe were intermittent and travel off the continent became increasingly impossible with each passing day, requiring extraordinary will and coordination to contact the correct officials and receive the necessary documentation. The family's letters reveal the toll these efforts put on them and the challenges of waiting and surviving in a foreign land as they tried to hold together.-- |cDust jacket and cataloger. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 600 10 Neisser, Walter, |d1897-1960 |xFamily. 610 20 Neisser and co.
