Description: "The story of one family, which reaches from Hitler's camps to the dungeons of the Uruguayan junta, is recounted in soul-stirring fragments by a single subject: in the memory of Moishe the child, the youth, and the man, fiction pales in comparison to reality." "In a world torn apart by wars and isolation, some bonds stubbornly endure; and letters - even letters that were never written - take on exceptional value as messages of hope and affection, bringing solace in times of sadness and solitude."--BOOK JACKET.
