Produktinformationen zu „Dear Uli! (ePub)“
Life is full of choices, some thrust on us, others of our own making. Sometimes the consequences can mean the difference between life and death. DEAR ULI! is the story of trauma and resilience told through letters to Uli, sent alone to America at age 16, from his family in war-torn Europe.
A treasured family collection of more than 750 letters narrates the lives of one German Jewish family, and their anguish, fear and optimism. In 1937, Uli left Berlin and arrived in New York City where he forged a new life for himself. On the other side of the world his twin sister, Isa, and their parents endured the oppressive Nazi regime that culminated with Kristallnacht and Papi's imprisonment. He was among the fortunate who were released, only to face an uncertain and fraught future.
The letters and documents evoke images of this family's life and the world around them over the course of the war and beyond.
