As historically significant, poignant, and moving as Anne Frank's diary. Under the pressure of Nazi tyranny, the German-Jewish family Jahn falls apart. When the Jewish woman Lilli Jahn is taken to the Breitenau labor camp in September 1943, only her five children remain steadfastly by her side. They send her letters almost daily, which help Lilli endure the horrors of camp life, and she responds on smuggled papers. In March 1944, Lilli Jahn is deported to Auschwitz, where she dies. Over 500 letters have been preserved in unique completeness, reminding us of a dramatic fate during the Holocaust and of unconditional love. A deeply moving testimony from that time, with an updated foreword by Martin Doerry, the author and grandson of Lilli Jahn.
