“Mutterland – nach dem Holocaust”
I have read many books about the topic: memoirs from the Holocaust and after, including those from the perspective of daughters or sons of survivors.
No other book so far has moved and occupied me so much, and I feel compelled to thank you for the publication of this text. I wish that this book finds a much larger audience. I also would like to thank the authoress for having taken on the arduous task of remembering, describing, and reporting.Perhaps you can pass this on to Ms. Chapman.
With all my best wishes for your work as a publisher. Please send me your catalog.
Sincerely,
M.-El. v. Gemmeren
