This book follows the discovery of 28 letters that my mother wrote to her sister. The story behind these letters encompasses far more than two sisters exchanging letters. It has to do partly with the period (1941 - 1947) during which these letters were written (namely, pre-deportation, the Holocaust, and post-Holocaust), partly from where the letters were written (Hungary, Romania, and Sweden), partly to where they were addressed (Palestine), and to a much larger part to the fact that I got to know my mother through these letters.

This book is aimed at telling a personal story to my children, their children and future generations to come. Yet it is also a story that has relevance to many who shared a similar destiny and even more to so, to those who need to know about it.

The book is about how people who lived through the horrors of the holocaust, the infliction of Communism, and the tyranny of the British Mandate in Palestine, coped with the challenge of living beyond surviving. It is also a testament to the victory of humanity and the human spirit over evil.

The book is in English, Hungarian and Hebrew and includes original documents and photos.
