It is based on childhood stories I heard about home-life in Europe and an extended interview with my father, Irving Gluck. The details of his story are supported by primary source material: photos, excerpts from a treasured collection of nearly one thousand family letters, official documents, extraordinarily rare Nazi records, as well as personal memorabilia. Extensive research provides evidence for every memory and there are numerous footnotes to explain obscure terminology. My father and aunt, both in their nineties, worked tirelessly to translate the family correspondence into English. Written in Hungarian (and some Yiddish) before, during, and after the War, they provided incredible details from both sides of the Atlantic. Some were their own letters, while others were to and from the family and neighbors that remained in Europe. I organized and scoured this collection so that a world, and the people in it, could be recreated 75 years after its destruction. The book is an ideal teaching aid for this critical period of world history and gives the student of history, a unique perspective on immigration, World War II, and the Holocaust.(less)
