Her parents grew up in Lodz, Poland and studied and lived inż żGrenoble and Paris from 1928 to 1938, when they emigrated to the United States.ż żFollowing her parents' deaths, her son discovered the letters, written in Polish,ż żGerman and French, in a tattered carton box labeled "Careful Old Letters." The prewarż żletters provide a vivid picture of life in Paris for Polish émigré students. Theż żwartime letters written in desperate times tell the story of the family's internmentż żin the Lodz and Warsaw Ghettos and the survival of two family members.żżż ż"After her parents' deaths, Alexandra Weinbaum found a unique collection of her family'sż żletters that document the love and anguish of a Jewish family trying to survive the horrorsż żof the Holocaust in Lodz, Warsaw, and Paris. Careful Old Letters tells their story, providingż żuseful historical context to situate these powerful letters in the desperate times in which theyż żwere written. It's also the author's own story, chronicling the complicated feelings as sheż żslowly takes in the hidden story of her family's resilience and despair."ż ż-Lisa Moses Leff, American University, author of żżThe Archive Thief: The Man Whoż Salvaged French Jewish History in the Wake of the Holocaustżż ż żALEXANDRA WEINBAUM grew up Philadelphia, received her B.A. at Smith College, and a Ph.D.ż żin Russian History from Columbia University.
