In the back of her mother's lingerie drawer, she found an old leather purse. Inside that purse was a large wad of folded papers. They were letters. Fifty-six of them. In German. Written in 1949. Letters from her father to her mother, when they were courting. Just four years earlier, he had fought to stay alive in Auschwitz and on the Death March while she had spent the war years suffering in Uzbekistan. Thirty years later, Eleanor--a theatre artist who has been on the forefront of keeping Yiddish alive--finally had the letters translated. The particulars of those letters send her off on an unimaginable adventure into the past, forever changing her and anyone who reads this book."--Amazon.com 600 10 Reissa, Eleanor |xFamily. 650 0 Holocaust survivors |xCorrespondence. 650 0 Holocaust survivors' writings, German |xTranslations |xHistory and criticism. 650 6 Survivants de l'Holocauste |0(CaQQLa)201-0128408 |xCorrespondance. |0(CaQQLa)201-0378394 650 7 HISTORY / World. |2bisacsh 600 17 Reissa, Eleanor. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00393287 650 7 Families. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01728849 650 7 Holocaust survivors. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00958838 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 Personal correspondence. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919948 655 7 Personal correspondence. |2lcgft 852 0 |bscstacks |hD804.196 |i.R45 2022 852 0 |bscstacks |hD804.196 |i.R45 2022 |tc. 2
