- This book of over 200 pages is based on original, ground-breaking research based on a unique trove of 2000 letters discovered in a forgotten trunk, that were written and exchanged by a German Jewish refugee in South Africa and his relatives and friends worldwide, including one who had become Nazi, in the 1930s and 1940s. In preparation of this book, the letters had to be read, translated, and studied. Further, archival research was needed in South Africa, Germany, and elsewhere. What began as a small family history project ended up as a substantial investigation, with broad implications for Holocaust history.
