Description
The Letters Project: A Daughter's Journey Eleanor Reissa's memoir is a powerful exploration of identity, family, and history. In 1986, while sorting through her mother's belongings after her passing, the author discovered an old leather purse containing 56 letters written by her father to his fiancée in 1949 - just four years before he survived the Auschwitz concentration camp. These letters, translated for the first time, sparked a journey of discovery that took Reissa on an unimaginable adventure into the past. The result is a riveting and deeply personal story that sheds light on the Holocaust's enduring impact on individuals and families. With wit and tender insight, Reissa shares her own struggles to come to terms with her family's history, weaving together a narrative that is both heartbreaking and heartwarming. A unique blend of informative history and poignant storytelling, The Letters Project is an unforgettable account of one woman's quest to understand her past and find her place in the world.
