The story is the tale of one family that strives against all odds during the golden years of the most horrific famine that is seen in modern age. In this beautiful tale, readers will learn about the pain of forgetting the precious details relating to personal memories.

In the midst of the Holocaust, one family must run for their very lives since their neighbors had a massacre orchestrated by radical local extremists to help raise awareness. The only thing that kept the family from sheer annihilation was the fact that they couldn't afford to find refuge. This is a story full of hope and love and they make it through, and learn something that may or may not be known at first glance. Now, in the ruins of a rebuilt city, the grown-up children are old enough to realize their family has experienced significant losses since the War. Here, they realize that their cherished tome isn't in the hands of their dearest relatives. Before it enters the hands of generations to come, this book will take the reader on a journey through their ancestry, covering everything regarding what led them to go through such an untamed storm.

Эта книга - история одной семьи на пути к выживанию перед лицом немыслимого ужаса и жестокости нацистского режима по отношению к еврейскому народу.

My Dear Ones tells a powerful story about human resilience, faith, and a desperate struggle for survival against unspeakable cruelty and horror perpetrated by Nazi Germany against its Jewish citizens. The author, Jonathan Wittenb erg, grew up as a child of Holocaust survivors in Britain and later became a rabbi as he came across an inheritance—a stash of letters—that took him to revisit his family history and to face the uncomfortable truths that he had ignor ed for so long while he still had relatives around to answer his questio ns. They dragged with them an odour of sweet home—aroma of apples, wal nuts and fond memories—an ode to things better left buried. Certainly they tugged at Jonathan's heart, sensat ions of nostalgia increasing the sadness of what they revealed.

A family’s story of human tenacity, faith and a race for survival in the face of unspeakable horror and cruelty perpetrated by the Nazi regime against the Jewish people.Growing up in the safety of Britain, Jonathan Wittenberg was deeply aware of his legacy as the child of refugees from Nazi Germany. Yet, like so many others there is much he failed to ask while those who could have answered his questions were still alive.After burying their aunt Steffi in the ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives, Jonathan, now a rabbi, accompanies his cousin Michal as she begins to clear the flat in Jerusalem where the family have lived since fleeing Germany in the 1930s. Inside an old suitcase abandoned on the balcony they discover a linen bag containing a bundle of letters left untouched for decades. Jonathan’s attention is immediately captivated as he tries to decipher the faded writing on the long-forgotten letters. They eventually draw him into a profound and challenging quest to uncover the painful details of his father’s family’s history.Through the wartime correspondence of his great-grandmother Regina and his grandmother, aunts and uncles, Jonathan weaves together the strands of an ancient rabbinical family with the history of Europe during the Second World War and the unfolding policies of the Nazis, telling the moving story of a family whose lives are as fragile as the paper on which they write, but whose faith in God remains steadfast.
