The project

In a few words, my project was to write a book about my father's childhood during the war, using all the letters and documents my grandmother saved during and after the war. The project grew to include a multitude of facts until then unknown to me and amazing encounters of people who helped me put together the pieces of the puzzle that made up my family's journey.

A lot more details about the genesis of the project can be found in the sections "How my journey began" and "Notes to my future readers."

I have sent the manuscript to a couple of publishers and am waiting to hear back.
