Book Description
Over fifty years ago, Gerda Weissmann was barely alive at the end of a 350-mile death march that took her from a slave labor camp in Germany to the Czech border.On May 7, 1945, the American military stormed the area, and among the first soldiers to approach Gerda was Kurt Klein. A great love had begun.Forced to separate just weeks after liberation and hours after their engagement, Gerda and Kurt began a correspondence that lasted until their reunion and wedding in Paris a year later.Their poignant letters reflect upon the horrors of war and genocide, but above all, upon the rapture and salvation of true love.AUTHORBIO: GERDA WEISSMANN KLEIN and KURT KLEIN lecture frequently and have written extensively about their experiences during the Holocaust. Gerda Weissmann Klein is the subject of the Academy Award-winning documentary One Survivor Remembers. Kurt Klein's story was featured in the PBS series America and the Holocaust. The Kleins have been married for more than fifty years and live in Scottsdale, Arizona.
