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

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 letters, documents, and photos.
