Eleanor Reissa
In 1986, when her mother died at the age of 64, Eleanor Reissa went through all of her belongings. In the back of her mother’s lingerie drawer, she found an old leather purse. Inside that purse was a large wad of folded papers. They were letters. Fifty-six of them. In German. Written in 1949. Letters from her father to her mother, when they were courting.
Just four years earlier, he had fought to stay alive in Auschwitz and on the Death March while she had spent the war years suffering in Uzbekistan. Thirty years later, Eleanor — a theatre artist who has been on the forefront of keeping Yiddish alive — finally had the letters translated. The particulars of those letters send her off on an unimaginable adventure into the past, forever changing her and anyone who listens to this book.

The emotions are overwhelming....as you'd expect from a memoir like this. But then the moments sprinkled throughout the tale of wry humor.... perfect. (At one point when I laughed out loud and my husband, across the room, said in confusion, "I thought you were listening to a Holocaust memoir?" I couldn't explain. But you know what, when the author/narrator laughs with you.... it's okay to laugh, really. Cathartic, even.)
There's even a Bob Dylan cameo.
Seriously, listen to the audiobook. I imagine that reading it is also wonderful, but the audiobook narration is just next level.
I was surprised at how it left me with a deeper empathy for my own parents, and at the same time an overwhelming compassion for myself, for my own behavior through the last years of my parents' lives, and for the ignorance we all have about our parents' inner lives....
Anyway. Highly recommended. One of the few audiobooks that I look forward to listening to again.
It'll stay with me
