As I learned about the important events of the past, I always wanted to know about the ordinary people and wondered what their lives were like. When my husband brought home his father’s old suitcase, filled with letters, we didn’t realize it was really a treasure chest. As the old German letters were translated into English, I was intrigued by the stories that were told.
What started as a family project developed into a mission to share these revealing stories with others who have an interest in social history.

I believe this book touches people deeply as they feel a connection to their own family's history.
