Finding or inheriting family letters, often in languages we don’t speak and barely decipherable handwriting, can present descendants of refugees and survivors from Nazi Europe with many challenges, dilemmas and rewards. Three Members of the Second Generation Network, Erika Hagelberg, Jackie Kohnstamm and Irv Adler, will share their experiences of dealing and working with family letters, how and where they were found, what steps they took to be able to read them, how they have used them (as the basis for memoirs, articles), what light they have shed on their relatives, and the repercussions within their own lives and the wider family. This Zoom event is open to all members of the First, Second and Third Generations. A booking link will be provided shortly.
