âCareful Old Lettersââ by Alexandra Weinbaum is a family history based on 169â âletters and postcards from Lodz, Warsaw, Grenoble and Paris, before, during andâ âafter World War II. Her parents grew up in Lodz, Poland and studied and lived inâ âGrenoble and Paris from 1928 to 1938, when they emigrated to the United States.â âFollowing her parents' deaths, her son discovered the letters, written in Polish,â âGerman and French, in a tattered carton box labeled "Careful Old Letters." The prewarâ âletters provide a vivid picture of life in Paris for Polish émigré students. Theâ âwartime letters written in desperate times tell the story of the family's internmentâ âin the Lodz and Warsaw Ghettos and the survival of two family members.â
âââ"After her parents' deaths, Alexandra Weinbaum found a unique collection of her family'sâ âletters that document the love and anguish of a Jewish family trying to survive the horrorsâ âof the Holocaust in Lodz, Warsaw, and Paris. Careful Old Letters tells their story, providingâ âuseful historical context to situate these powerful letters in the desperate times in which theyâ âwere written. It's also the author's own story, chronicling the complicated feelings as sheâ âslowly takes in the hidden story of her family's resilience and despair."â â-Lisa Moses Leff, American University, author of ââThe Archive Thief: The Man Whoâ Salvaged French Jewish History in the Wake of the Holocaustâ
