Beschreibung

In 1939, as the Nazis closed in, Alfred Berger mailed a desperate letter to an American stranger who happened to share his last name. He and his wife, Viennese Jews, had found escape routes for their daughters. But now their money, connections, and emotional energy were nearly exhausted. Alfred begged the American recipient of the letter, âYou are surely informed about the situation of all Jews in Central Europe.... By pure chance I got your address.... My daughter and her husband will go... to America.... Help us to follow our children.... It is our last and only hope....â? After languishing in a California attic for decades, Alfredâ¿s letter ended up in the hands of Faris Cassell, a journalist who couldnâ¿t rest until she discovered the ending of the story. Traveling across the United States as well as to Austria, the Czech Republic, Belarus, and Israel, she uncovered an extraordinary story of heart-wrenching loss and unforgettable love that endures to this day. Did the Bergersâ¿ desperate letter find a response? Did theyâ¿and their daughtersâ¿survive? Did they leave living descendants? You will find the answers here. A story that will move any reader,Â The Unanswered LetterÂ is a poignant reminder that love and hope never die.
