Author Richard Hollander was devastated when his parents were killed in an automobile accident in 1986. While rummaging through their attic; he discovered letters from a family he never knew -- his father's mother; three sisters; and their husbands and children. The letters; neatly stacked in a briefcase; were written from Krakow; Poland; between 1939 and 1942. They depict day-to-day life under the most extraordinary pain and stress. At the same time; Richard's father; Joseph Hollander; was fighting the United States government to avoid deportation and death. Richard was astounded to learn that his father saved the lives of many Polish Jews; but -- despite heroic efforts -- could not save his family.
