Zusammenfassung: "The book focuses on the Lasker family from Breslau. An upper-class Jewish family, the father a successful lawyer and a hero of World War I. The mother is an artist who plays the violin and has other talents who devoted herself to her family and the upbringing of her three daughters, Marianne, Anita and Renata, and her home was home to lovers of music and literature. Marianne, the eldest daughter, decided at the age of 14 to join the Werkloitte movement, leaving home to study carpentry. In 1939, she traveled to England on behalf of the pioneer to take care of the children of the "Kinder Transport". Marianne's separation from her family is the impetus for the exchange of letters between the sons and daughters of the family shortly after Hitler came to power and until two years after the end of the war, when her sisters are liberated in Bergen-Belsen and she is in England and later immigrates to Israel and establishes Kibbutz Ha'Ma'apil with her friends. Through testimonies and letters, the stories of Anita and Renata are told during the Holocaust, when they were imprisoned as members of the underground who helped the French escape. Their deportation to Auschwitz, where Anita was accepted as a cellist for the women's orchestra in Auschwitz. During the evacuation of Auschwitz, they were transferred to Bergen-Belsen, where they were released and worked as translators for the British army, and there the letter-writing relationship between the sisters was renewed. Michal Golan, Mariana's eldest daughter, accompanies the book with historical explanations and insights that shed light on family relationships and the special bond between family members. Michal is a mixed reader and weaver who manages to reach and influence us, the readers, as well, and thus the book is more than a collection of letters. The picture that unfolds before us is broader than the story of one family and touches on central questions that many Jewish families in Germany and Austria were struggling with until the war broke out, the borders were closed, and hopes were shattered."
