This book was alright. It is about a set of letters that are sent from Krakow, Poland to the United States from 1939-1941 (it ended once the US entered the war.) The letters are from a Polish, Jewish family to their son/brother/uncle/brother-in-law who managed to flee Europe.
The letters don't reveal any real hardship of a family living in German-occupied Krakow (and then forced to move to the Krakow Ghetto) other than occasion mention of maybe being forced to leave Krakow. I guess I expected more when I heard about this book. I know there were censors and that it was war-time, but I have seen original letters and post cards sent from other ghettos and even concentration camps where codes were used that would tell the true hardships going on.
