A Brief Introduction

This blog will publish the letters that I wrote to my family  from Berlin in the 1930s.  I am grateful that they were saved by my family, so that those who didn't know me or my family's generation can come to learn something about us and our lives during this decade, which started with the great depression and ended with Hitler, oppression of Jews, war in Europe, and concentration camps.
Fortunately, much of my family left Germany early in the decade.  I stayed on with one of my daughters and her husband.  Our story and theirs will be told here with copies of my letters and my commentary about them.
